I still get the error: ”error: command ‘cl.exe’ failed: no such file or directory” while trying to install spaCy using pip install spacy

error: command 'cl.exe' failed: no such file or directory

Can someone help me to fix this error?

    The cause: This error happens because you are installing a package with parts written in C/C++, but you didn’t installed cl.exe (the Microsoft C Compiler) on your computer and in your PATH.

    Solution:

    1. Make sure Visual Studio’s C++ build tools are installed first.
    2. Use one of the special command prompts in the Visual Studio folder in Start Menu to set up PATH automatically, so that cl.exe can be found.
