How do I install channels in Pycharm?

Question

I am trying to install channels with pip in pycharm and I am getting the error:

command 'cl.exe' failed: No such file or directory.

I keep coming across Visual Studio solutions which do not help me.

I am running on Windows.

You might be able to install it through PowerShell or Terminal outside of Pycharm, and then manually change your settings files and add your routing/consumer files. I never set up my Pycharm environment when I did mine and only ran it through PowerShell, which seemed to work alright. Let me know!
