Error during installation

[KiraJYQiu]

Hi developers
I encounter the following error during installation. I already installed "Microsoft C++ Build Tools".

In my computer, I can successfully install sparse_dot_topn, and string-grouper 0.5.0 (specifying version in the package list of Pycharm). Installing the newest version of string-grouper (0.6.1) is not successful due to failing to install this dependency.

I was getting a similar issue with sparse_dot_topn (which I believe is the basis for this project). Once I updated to new version, the topn was building okay. But now, as you've stated, topn_for_blocks is not building. Here was the sparse_dot_topn thread:
