Presidio analyzer

[Yggy-creator]

Good day,
Very interesting tool, really wanted to try it ASAP but ran into an issue:

I was following your instructions to run that python example code, wanted to check how it works. BUT was not able to install wheel. During installation it complains that it cannot find C++ 14.0 compiler. I had VS 2015 installed, Path variable for properly populated with needed links. That didn't help. Then I removed VS 2015 and installed Build tools 2015, same story. Could you please let people know what system setup is expected in case of Windows 10 system.

Later I found at pip database 'presidio-analyzer-fixed', tried to install that via pycharm and later via command line, same story it just does not see neither VS 2015 compiler, nor build tools 2015 one. Please advice how to proceed.

Kind regards,
Igor

Hi @Yggy-creator, thanks for the info.
I'm not sure why it requires a C++ 14.0 compiler. The analyzer uses re2 as a regex engine, but would fall back to regex in case re2 is not available. Have you tried simply calling pip install presidio-analyzer?

Thank you for response Omri, I did try that one and also presidio-analyzer-fixed, but both installations failed with this error :( running build_ext building 'Cython.Plex.Scanners' extension error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Build Tools for Visual Studio": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/ ---------------------------------------- ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: 'C:\ProgramData\Anaconda333\envs\presidio\python.exe' -u -c 'import sys, setuptools, tokenize; sys.argv[0] = '"'"'C:\\Users etc

Could you please try to install cython alone? pip install cython==0.29.10? See if this works.

Fixed in version 2.0.0, please try again.
