First check

I added a very descriptive title to this issue.
I used the GitHub search to find a similar issue and didn't find it.
I searched the FastAPI documentation, with the integrated search.
I already read and followed all the tutorial in the docs and didn't find an answer.
I already searched in Google "How to X in FastAPI" and didn't find any information.
After submitting this, I commit to one of:
- Read open issues with questions until I find 2 issues where I can help someone and add a comment to help there.
- I already hit the "watch" button in this repository to receive notifications and I commit to help at least 2 people that ask questions in the future.
- Implement a Pull Request for a confirmed bug.

Example

Here's a self-contained, minimal, reproducible, example with my use case:

Running pip install fastapi[all] on a 64-bit Windows machine with both PowerShell & Git Bash throws the following error messages:

Description

Running the pip install fastapi[all] command breaks due to missing Rust toolchains in the system on a 64-bit Windows 10 machine. Not sure why it's even required. Am I missing something out?

But installing the requirements individually works flawlessly. This breakage has been tested both on PowerShell & Git Bash. But I can't test it on WSL as of now due to time constraints.

Environment

OS: [e.g. Linux / Windows / macOS]: Windows 10 64-bit.
FastAPI Version [e.g. 0.3.0]: latest
Python version: 3.8.5

It is not required, only if you want to use UJSONResponse, in your case looks like ujson has some C++ dependencies which you don't have on your machine.

Ah, I see! It makes sense now. In that context, I guess the issue could be related to #820 as well. Leaving it open for now then.

Well, sure. The #820 is no more valid since they found a maintainer but Starlette recently dropped down support for UJSONResponse.

#2335 re-added to make Starlette upgrade non breaking-change but on the other hand C dependencies breaking builds too, kinda tricky one.

@Jarmos-san I think it's very probable that you are using an old version of pip not supporting wheels, or at least not some wheels. If you use a recent version of pip, it should fetch the compiled wheels and not require building anything.

Try this in a PowerShell:

$ python -m venv env

$ .\env\Scripts\Activate.ps1

# This is the key, upgrade pip inside your virtual environment
$ python -m pip install --upgrade pip

$ python -m pip install "fastapi[all]"

Downloading ujson-3.2.0-cp36-cp36m-manylinux1_x86_64.whl

...of course, in your case it would download Windows versions, not Linux versions. But it should work the same without needing to compile anything.

@tiangolo thanks for responding back & first things first, thanks for creating FastAPI.

As for the issue, it's still not resolved on my machine. For further reference I'm using pip v21.1.1 which I assume is the latest as of writing this comment.

But to be honest, it's a trivial issue in my opinion. I've been using FastAPI for a couple of my projects. And, I didn't come across any dependency issues as long as I download each of them specifically. I'm also not sure how to debug this type of issues so I can close the issue if need be.

Do let me know, what you think?

PS: I think it would be wise to add a small heads-up text in the documentations stating this issue for Windows users. Pip can't actually install orjson on Windows 10 & it could be related to this issue ijl/orjson#19

That's strange, I just restarted in Windows to test this, and it worked as expected with PowerShell, in a freshly created environment:

But anyway, I'm glad you solved your problem. I guess we can probably close this issue then.

And if someone else finds a way to replicate the problem we can check it again.

Thanks for the help @ycd ! 🙇

@Jarmos-san I think it's very probable that you are using an old version of pip not supporting wheels, or at least not some wheels. If you use a recent version of pip, it should fetch the compiled wheels and not require building anything.

Try this in a PowerShell:
$ python -m venv env

$ .\env\Scripts\Activate.ps1

# This is the key, upgrade pip inside your virtual environment
$ python -m pip install --upgrade pip

$ python -m pip install "fastapi[all]"

Thanks @tiangolo I had the same problem and updating pip solved it. :)

I also encountered this but I found that switching to a 64-bit python environment fixed the issue for me. I was already using pip 21.2.4 so pip was up to date.
