Pandas uses C extensions (mostly written using Cython) to speed up certain
134134
operations. To install pandas from source, you need to compile these C
135135
extensions, which means you need a C compiler. This process depends on which

platform you're using. Follow the `CPython contributing guide
137-
<https://devguide.python.org/setup/#compile-and-build>`_ for getting a
138-
compiler installed. You don't need to do any of the ``./configure`` or ``make``
139-
steps; you only need to install the compiler.

install `Visual Studio 2017 <https://visualstudio.com/>`_ with the

**Python development workload** and the **Python native development tools**

option. Otherwise, the following links may be helpful.
