Scrapy Installation on pyCharm

Question

I am trying to install Scrapy via the project interpreter but I end with the error. Later I tried installing using pip install Scrapy but I end up with the same error. The error details are:

Answer 1

You could be missing Microsoft C++ for Python 2, since the file that cannot be opened is from it.
