Q:

Error while installing Scrapy error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required

I found about scrapy that is a great tool scraping so i tried to install scrapy on my machine, but when i tried to do pip install scrapy it installed for a while and threw me this error..
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 tried to install it in virtual environment but still the problem persists.  
EDIT:
here is what i got after the error..
    error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required.  Get it with "Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools": http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools

any help? 

A:

Install Using Conda
If you have conda Use: conda install -c anaconda scrapy
Or
Install Using pip
Download https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#twisted at this location
//Download the whl file of same version as Python version here cp27 means python2.7
pip install Twisted-18.9.0-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl 
pip install scrapy

UPDATE
As some one pointed out in the edit,  if you download only the vc_redist.x64.exe it's just 15MB, for that go to "other tools and frameworks" and choose MS Visual C++
solved the problem by installing the tools from here
the thing is that some python modules require C++ tools to compile with a python wrapper around, as they are written in C++. 
once the setup is downloaded you can select the specific tools or download other facilities provided.  
it's somewhere around 4 GB but solves the purpose if in future you need to use some other module which are made in C++.
