Hello Tom,

Thank you so much for your reply.

Yes, I am developing this DLstruct Plugin. I have some other questions:
 
    1. I have Visual studio code (attached below). Do I still need to install Visual Studio 2019 to use instead of Visual Studio Code
    2. How does ChimeraX find the required packages? In my understanding, if ChimeraX couldn't find a required package in the system, it will install the package automatically by using pip, is that correct?
Thank you for your time.

Best regards,
Yongcheng

Hi Yongcheng,

  Did you develop this DLStruct plugin?  I have not seen it before.  The error message says it was trying to install the quadprog package from PyPi, I guess a quadratic programming library.  You can see on PyPi that it only has a source code distribution

https://pypi.org/project/quadprog/#files

and your error indicates it needs to be compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ compilers which you apparently do not have installed.

You will have to get the C++ compiler to build quadprog on Windows.

Hello,

Hope this email finds you well.

I'm trying to Plugin a bundle into ChimeraX. I have successfully installed a bundle on macOS, now I'm trying to install the bundle on a Window Desktop. It holds some errors, I searched a lot and I failed to fix this issue. I wonder if you have any suggestions?

Best regards,
Yongcheng

DEPRECATION: Could not build wheels for quadprog which do not use PEP 517. pip will fall back to legacy 'setup.py install' for these. pip 21.0 will remove support for this functionality.
