Install PyMuPDF

[dayanych]

I was installing requirements, where the error popped up

ERROR: Failed to build wheels for PyMuPDF, which is required to install projects based on pyproject.toml

I tried to install the PyMuPDF with python setup.py install, but then:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 706, in
subprocess.run( command, shell=True, check=True)
File "C:\Users\we\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\lib\subprocess.py", line 438, in run
output=stdout, stderr=stderr)
subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command 'cd mupdf-1.22.0-source&&"devenv.com" >platform/win32/mupdf.sln /Build "ReleaseTesseract|x64"/Project mupdf' returned non-zero exit status 1.

I used "python -m pip install --upgrade pip" and "python -m pip install --upgrade pymupdf". but after "python -m pip install --upgrade pymupdf" i got:

Running setup.py clean for pymupdf
Failed to build pymupdf
Installing collected packages: pymupdf
Running setup.py install for pymupdf ... error

What should I do? pip 23.1.2 from C:\Users\we\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.11)

It looks like you're running Windows but for some reason the Wheels on pypi.org do not match your OS or CPU. So pip is trying to build PyMuPDF from source, but PyMuPDF/setup.py cannot find devenv.com (which is part of Microsoft Visual Studio).

So we'll need a little more information here.

What OS are you using?
What CPU do you have?
Do you have Microsoft Visual Studio installed; if yes, what version?

Finally, could you paste the entire output from your pip command?
