WARNING: You are using pip version 21.1.2; however, version 22.0.3 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'C:\Users\Lenovo\PycharmProjects\Alexa2\venv\Scripts\python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.

edit: now it says:

Command errored out with exit status 1

rather then the warning about c++ visual tools

Answer 1

The error indicates error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. Get it with "Microsoft C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/ error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. Get it with "Microsoft C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/ . You should install this to proceed.
