'Install Diesel error (3 errors) - failed to compile 'diesel_cli v1.4.1'

I'm trying to install database migration utility on my machine and run into multiple errors when trying to run in Powershell.

  • Postgres 13 running
  • I've installed Rust successfully
  • I have Postgres running in Docker as well.

But I'm still stuck and can't figure out what to do next, any help is greatly appreciated!!

Here is the command I'm running and the error messages that follow in Powershell:
