Description

I was trying to install ml_insights
But it failed to build wheel for splinecalib

What I Did

Output:

Hi @Pak-02 - thanks for logging this issue. I don't use Windows so not an expert on these problems, but what is happening is that the installer is looking for a C compiler since the code uses Cython (which compiles to C) for faster running code. It looks like you need to install the version of Visual C++ mentioned. Did you try looking through the link in the error message?

If you install Visual C++ as suggested it should be able to finish the installation. Let me know if that helps.

Thank you so much, professor. I have set up it already
