Trouble with SSM installation

[nightshade2303]

Hi,
I am trying to fit some rodent behavior data using the SSM package. However, when I follow the installation instructions in my conda environment, I am unable to install the package and it ends with the error:
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/
[end of output]
I did visit the build tools site, but was unsure what or how to install those packages.
Can someone help me with this?
Thanks!

I install Visual Stidio according to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64261546/how-to-solve-error-microsoft-visual-c-14-0-or-greater-is-required-when-inst, it really works!

[slinderman]

Thanks for sharing your solution @wanglei666666666! I haven't tested on Windows personally, but it makes sense that you need to install some extra compiler tools.

An alternative approach would be to install gcc/g++ through conda, but I can't say for sure if that would work.
