Installing scrapy on pycharm

I'm trying to install Scrapy on Pycharm but it keeps giving me the following error:

command 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\BuildTools\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.27.29110\bin\HostX86\x86\cl.exe' failed with exit status 2

I've got the 2019 vs build tools installed too, thanks in advance !

First you may want to try upgrading your pip using the following command: python -m pip install --upgrade pip

Afterwards, try the following: pip install Scrapy or pip3 install Scrapy

If those don't work, try what's listed below.

Based on the information found here: Installing Scappy, it seems like they recommend you install Anaconda or Miniconda:

Though it’s possible to install Scrapy on Windows using pip, we recommend you to install Anaconda or Miniconda and use the package from the conda-forge channel, which will avoid most installation issues.

It says once you install either Anaconda or Miniconda, you can run the following command to install Scrappy:

conda install -c conda-forge scrapy

Let me know if this helps.
