How to Fix the \'Microsoft Visual C 14.0 is required\' Error When Installing lxml?

Installing lxml with Microsoft Visual C 14.0

Encountering the "Microsoft Visual C 14.0 is required" error while installing lxml using pip can be frustrating, especially if you already have a version of Visual Studio installed. This issue typically arises if the C compiler was not included during the Visual Studio installation.

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

1. Open the Visual Studio installer (accessible via Programs and Features).
2. Click on "Modify" for your Visual Studio 2015 installation.
3. Navigate to the Programming Languages section.
4. Ensure that the "VC " component is ticked.

Once you have verified that the C compiler is installed, attempt to install lxml through pip again. The installation should now proceed successfully.

Note: If you have already installed visual studio c 2015 redistributables and encounter the "there's another version of the product already installed" error, it could be due to the installer not recognizing the pre-existing installation. Consider uninstalling all Visual Studio and Visual C redistributable packages and reinstalling them in the correct order.
