Unable to install Psutil

o/

I can't install Psutil package using :

pip install psutil

I get the error message : Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required Failed building wheel for psutil Could not build wheels for psutil, which is required to install pyproject .toml-based projects

I tried pretty much everything I found on other threads for the past 2 hours.

I uninstalled all older visual c++ versions and reinstalled the latest one (C++ 2015-2022) Tried using older pip versions, tried --upgraded and ---v commands, and so on and so on, nothing works.

Any hints :) ?

fix on windows:

by installing Microsoft Build Tools for Visual Studio.

Select: Workloads → Desktop development with C++.
Then for Individual Components, select only:

  • "Windows SDK"
  • "C++ x64/x86 build tools"

The build tools allow using MSVC “cl.exe” C / C++ compiler from the command line.

So pip install psutil is successfuly installed after that.
