Unable to install simple-crypt

[onkarghaisas]

Hi,
while installing on simplecrypt, I am getting below error;

warning: GMP or MPIR library not found; Not building Crypto.PublicKey._fastmat

building 'Crypto.Random.OSRNG.winrandom' extension
error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. Get it with "Microsof
C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/

Has anyone faced this issue and found any solution?

thanks in advance.

Hello @onkarghaisas,

I believe this is an issue with the package pycrypto, which simplecrypt requires. This issue can be fixed by simply replacing pycrypto with pycryptodome in the setup file. After you have replaced that, type as follows: python setup.py install and pip install pycryptodome. I hope this helps.
