--------------------
In Windows, you will first need to install the `Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler
for Python 2.7
<https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44266>`_. This
package contains the compiler and the set of system headers necessary for
producing binary wheels for Python 2.7 packages. If it's not already in your
system, download it and install it before proceeding to the next step.
In Windows, you will first need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler,
which is different depending on the version of Python that you plan to use:
* Python 3.5, 3.6: `Visual C++ 2015 Build Tools
<http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools>`_,
which installs Visual C++ version 14.0. **This is the recommended version**
* Python 2.7: `Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7
<https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44266>`_, which

This package contains the compiler and the set of system headers necessary for
producing binary wheels for Python packages. If it's not already in your

need additional help, or are looking for other versions of Visual C++ for
Windows (only advanced users), follow `this link <https://wiki.python.org/moin/WindowsCompilers>`_.
Once you have the above compiler installed, the easiest and best supported way
to install Catalyst in Windows is to use :ref:`Conda <conda>`. If you didn't
