Hi, I’m new to Rasa, trying to install it on my laptop. I’ve installed anaconda, and using the anaconda prompt, tried to ran the installation command as suggested, I also downloaded the Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools and restarted my laptop as instructed.

Failed to build httptools… building ‘httptools.parser.parser’ extension error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with “Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools”: [Download Visual Studio 2019 for Windows & Mac](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/)

any ideas? 🙂
