Installation on PyCharm on Windows

[nadia...@gmail.com]

I cannot install ANNarchy on Pycharm community 2018.3 with Python 3.7.

Within PyCharm or with the command prompt I get this below.

First, is it possible to install in windows with PyCharm and Python 3.7?

Second, it mentions it wants Visual Studio Build Tools... I tried but it's many GB, is it necessary? Are all those GB necessary? I'm thinking the 'building tools. are a 'small' package...

It is not possible to use ANNarchy under WIndows. ANNarchy relies on gcc or clang to compile the code. We have tried multiple times to link Microsoft Visual Studio, but to no avail. Perhaps one day...
