What I have already tried:

• pip install nes-py --no-cache-dir
• pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel

My system:

• Windows 10
• Python 3.10.2 64 Bit
• Visual Studio Code

Answer 1

I had this problem when I was running pip install inside a docker container within a virtual environment

It was solved when I stopped using the virtualenv & ran from python3

Answer 2

I ran into the same error trying to run a SikuliX script on a Windows 10 PC. This is how I solved it:

1. Download and run C++ Build Tools: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/

2. Open and select tab Individual Components and install MSVC - v140 VS2015 C++ Build Tools (v14.00) and also and Windows 10 SDK, eg 10.0.20348.0

3. Add a new value to the Environment Variable PATH: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x64

4. Copy the file rc.exe & rcdll.dll from

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.20348.0\x64

to

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin

5. Now execute the command that previously produces the error:

python setup.py bdist_wheel did not run successfully.

Answer 3

This error could be caused by the fact that you haven't installed the wheel package. Depending on your system , check out how to install the wheel package in this short, simple and amazing tutorial. After install the wheel package, you can install nes by running pip install nes-py. Make sure that you install Visual-Studio 17.0 tools so that the nes package can work on windows.

Answer 4

I also had similar problem but after I installed Cmake everything is fine

pip install Cmake
