Unable to install PySam on windows

[UdayGuntupalliRWE]

I am trying to install Pysam in an anaconda environment on a machine with Windows 10. I have tried to install it using pip as well conda nut no luck. When using pip, I get the following error:

Upon trying with conda, I get the following error:
conda install -c bioconda pysam also yields the same result

I have tried it several different times but I still get the same error. I have tried it with Python 3.7.5 to Python 3.8.5. Some research online points out that Pysam is not supported on Windows? Is that correct?

I managed to build a working pysam using the instructions mentioned on this pull request.

Thanks @teepean for your suggestion. What is MSYS2 mentioned in the resolution. I am not familiar with it, can you kindly explain

Hello @UdayGuntupalliRWE use Google colab on your windows, it will let you install pysam.

I hope this helps

Cheers
