Answer 1

The problem is clearly mentioned: error: Microsoft Visual C++ 10.0 is required .

You will need to install the required windows software before you install the module.

You can download Microsoft Visual C++ 10.0 from here .

In case your system already has another installation , you can find the workaround here .
