Unable to install several python packages using PyCharm

Error message:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.17134.0\ucrt\inttypes.h(27): 
error C2061: syntax error: identifier 'intmax_t'

Hi beginner programmer here just want to know and understand what exactly is this error and how to solve it, that I've been getting when installing Python packages, more specifically the newer Python Packages. I've already tried upgrading the pip and setup tools multiple times but still no avail.

Python version: 3.7

It may be easier to troubleshoot this using the PyCharm interface.

  1. In PyCharm, select File > Preferences > Project > Project Interpreter

  2. Under the dropdown menu for project interpreter, ensure you have selected the version of python which you want to run. It is possible you have multiple installs. (If using python 3, ensure that you have updated pip3, not just pip.)

  3. Select the '+' button to install packages manually via the interface.

If this does not work directly, it should at least give a somewhat more user friendly platform with which to troubleshoot. If you give more specifics, it may be possible to give more specific advice from there.

Note, I am using a Mac, so processes may be altered slightly.
