I am trying to download auto-py-to-exe on a different (windows) device than I usually use through pip. However when run I get the error (sorry it is so very very long):

Even though it does state that I need Visual Studio C++ 14.0 my computer won’t install it and I have not needed it before. I checked This Stack Overflow Question but it relates to another pip install and has no answers. If the only answer is to install Visual Studio then I am kinda screwed.

If you are installing auto-py-to-exe package on Python 3.8 or below, you will get an error stating ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: python setup.py egg_info Check the logs for full command output.
In this tutorial, we will look into what exactly is ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: python setup.py egg_info Check the logs for full command output and how to fix it.
The auto-py-to-exe library is mainly used to convert the python file(.py) into an executable file (.exe) and run it on windows.
As shown below, we can install the package directly through the pip command in Python 3.8.
$ pip install auto-py-to-exeThe package has an additional dependency on bottle-websocket, which in turn has a dependency on the gevent.
gevent did not release a stable version that offers prebuilt wheels for Python 3.8 during the time of release. Hence, the pip will pick the prebuilt wheels and try to build the gevent==1.4 version from the source dist, resulting in the below error.
ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:
raise distutils.errors.DistutilsPlatformError(err)
distutils.errors.DistutilsPlatformError: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/

ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: python setup.py egg_info Check the logs for full command output.Later they had released the new version, which works without any issue. Let us look at the fix for this issue.
Solution
Currently, there are many versions of gevent released, including prebuilt wheels for Python 3.8 on Windows. You can just execute the below command to install the auto-py-to-exe package.
pip install auto-py-to-exeIf this is not working for you, you can try an alternate solution listed below.
pip3 install --upgrade pip setuptools wheelIf you are not able to install setuptools through pip you can also download Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools and install it manually.
OR
pip install --no-use-wheel --upgrade distribute
pip install --upgrade setuptoolsOnce you perform this operation, you can install the auto-py-to-exe package. The same solution applies to other libraries, too, which have a dependency on gevent.

In this Python tutorial, we will see how to fix the error, Command errored out with exit status 1 in Python.
The error was coming when I was trying to install the Python strings module by running the below command:
pip install stringsThe complete error was coming like below:
ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:

ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: python setup.py egg_info Check the logs for full command output.
Below image shows the screenshot of error:
There was no issue with the command, one file with name string.py was causing the issue.
As you can see below there was filename string.py in the same folder which was causing the issue.
To fix the issue, we need to simply delete the string.py file from the folder.
Ideally, we should not create any file with name as string.py.
AttributeError: partially initialized module ‘random’ has no attribute ‘randint’
The above same file name (string.py) issue might give the below error also,
AttributeError: partially initialized module ‘random’ has no attribute ‘randint’ (most likely due to a circular import).
Follow the same delete the file solution to fix this issue also.

When installing packages using pip, you might encounter the following error:
ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: python setup.py egg_info
Check the logs for full command output.
This error is a general error that occurs when Python fails to perform the installation you requested. The exit code 1 means Python chooses to terminate the progress because of a specific issue.
This error can happen for many reasons depending on the package you try to install.
To resolve the error, you need to look into the error message for specific details regarding your package. Let me show you two specific examples from which you can try to find yours.
1. Installing pyscopg2 package
When installing the psycopg2 package, this error might occur:
----------------------------------------
ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:
python setup.py egg_info Check the logs for full command output.
To see the real cause of this error, you need to look above the horizontal lines:
Error: pg_config executable not found.
pg_config is required to build psycopg2 from source. Please add the directory
containing pg_config to the $PATH or specify the full executable path with the
option:
python setup.py build_ext --pg-config /path/to/pg_config build ...
or with the pg_config option in 'setup.cfg'.
If you prefer to avoid building psycopg2 from source, please install the PyPI
'psycopg2-binary' package instead.
For further information please check the 'doc/src/install.rst' file (also at
<http://initd.org/psycopg/docs/install.html>).
----------------------------------------
When you read the message, the error occurs because the psycopg2 package requires the pg_config executable file to install properly.
You can get pg_config by installing Postgres in your system, as detailed here.
Once you have pg_config available, run the command to install pyscopg2 package again. It should work this time.
1. Installing NumPy package
In another example, installing a specific NumPy version also give this error:
building library "npymath" sources
error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required.
Get it with "Microsoft C++ Build Tools":
https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/
----------------------------------------
To resolve this error, you need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools which you can download here.
Once the build tools are installed, run the installation command again. Notice that you didn’t receive the error this time.
Conclusion
The Python ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1 usually occurs when the requirements to install a package are not satisfied on your system.
To resolve this error, You need to meet the requirements, like installing the required software and making it available to access from the PATH environment variable.
You need to read the error message above the exit status 1 line to figure out the real cause of this error.
