Description

On Windows, it's necessary to install Microsoft C++ Build Tools:

  1. https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/
  2. Click "Download Build Tools" button
  3. During installation, under "Workloads" (or "Individual components"), select "C++ build tools" and ensure the latest versions of "MSVCv142 - VS 2019 C++ x64/x86 build tools" and "Windows 10 SDK" are selected. (as per @mrhelixx)

This should be mentioned either in the README before the instructions to run pip install -r requirements.txt (so before line 78), or in the FAQ.

Happy to open a PR.

Research direction

Update docs/en/README.en.md before the pip install -r requirements.txt instructions, or docs/en/faq_en.md. Start by reviewing the existing Windows setup steps and the linked Microsoft C++ Build Tools page; done means the C++ build tools, MSVC and Windows 10 SDK requirements are clearly documented.
