Failed building wheel for ripser

[DrMSAbdullahi]

Dear developers,

I have been having this error (under this paragraph) for quite sometime now, whenever I try to install ripser via command prompt using "pip install ripser" or via jupyter notebook using "!pip install ripser".

Note that, I have downloaded and installed "MSVC v143- VS 2022 C++ x64/x86 build tools (v14.35-17.5)" then restarted my laptop but the error message keep coming back. I would be glad if you could help me resolve this issue. Thank you.

@DrMSAbdullahi ripser.py v0.6.8 now includes wheels for windows. If you were unable to fix the problem by installing Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater as indiciated by your error message, please try pip install ripser now. You should no longer have to build wheels locally.
