rasa_nlu Failed building wheel for spacy and Failed building wheel for thinc - spacy

Question

conda 4.5.8
Python 3.6.0
Operating system: Win10
According to the rasa_core installation documentation, I have successfully installed rasa_core(pip install rasa_core) and rasa_nlu(pip install rasa_nlu[tensorflow]), of course I also encountered during the installation process. To the problem of Failed building wheel for twisted, I downloaded the installation file corresponding to my operating system and python at https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#twisted: Twisted‐18.7 .0‐cp36‐cp36m‐win_amd64.whl is saved to my machine and successfully installed using cmd into the directory where the .whl file is located (pip install Twisted‐18.7.0‐cp36‐cp36m‐win_amd64.whl).
However, now when I install spacy using pip install rasa_nlu[spacy], I get the following error message:
(rasa) D:\rasa>pip install rasa_nlu[spacy]

I tried to solve the problem by install theincc-6.10.3.tar.gz and spacy-2.0.12.tar.gz but I was failed, I got a similar error as above.

Answer 1

From the error messages printed it seems that you need to install Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools
error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools": http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools
I would start there. If that still doesn't work I would also suggest:
Installing with a tool like Anaconda
Installing with Docker
Lastly I would recommend editing your question to put the entire console messages in a code block.
