Errors when installing HeyAthena

[Nawjy]

Using Windows 7 64bit, was following along with the instructions at https://heyathena.com/docs/intro/install.html#windows until I ran into a hitch
Got to "pip3 install HeyAthena" and received this:

So I went to do the github installation to troubleshoot. After "pip install -U pip setuptools wheel", "pip3 install -U pocketsphinx pyaudio SpeechRecognition pyglet gTTS pyyaml wolframalpha selenium" returned this:

And after installing "pip install -U pip setuptools wheel" if I try "pip3 install HeyAthena" or any of the other commands, it returns a similar "Failed building wheel for pocketsphinx" error until I "pip uninstall wheel". After that, I just get the first error.

I am honestly very new/bad at this kind of stuff, so sorry if this is a rookie mistake. Thanks.

No worries, this should be documented better (my bad). I have tried making the installation process a lot simpler. Anyway this is a common issue with a lot of python packages that are built on the spot. You can either install Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 build tools for python (pretty easy to find by googling). If you are running windows, you can install pre-built packages from here: https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pocketsphinx
