when trying to install packages such as wordcloud, I get the error message error: Microsoft Visual C 14.0 is required. Get it with "Build Tools for Visual Studio": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/. When following the link, the installer proposes many different options. Just selecting the C requires almost 7GB. Could you help me choose the bare minimum options required to install wordcloud? Indeed I have a small config, and would rather avoid using so much space for a small package (and for the moment, I don't plan using Visual Studio except for that matter). Thanks!

Have you followed the information in the instruction for setup with Python found here?

It indicates that you should update setuptools pip install --upgrade setuptools before doing anything else.
