Actually, I have Microsoft visual c++ 15 installed on my device

Answer 1

So after getting the same error message.

I did what the message said.

Downloaded and installed the build tools.

I couldn't find them on Micorsoft download page so here is a link

https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vs_buildtools.exe

After installing is selected the options in the image and it worked
