It tells you that the library has compiled code, but you do not have compilers. Easiest solution for you is probably conda install -c conda-forge httptools - cel
@cel thank you man, it worked, after a week's struggle i finally installed rasa, you are my messiah - sajjan
You have not specified which windows OS version you are using. But the error is quite self explanatory. You need to install Microsoft VC++ build tools 14.0 version. - MSS

Try with this command on your anaconda prompt and try again for install rasa. I think this will solve your problem

conda install -c conda-forge httptools

Working solution I found for similar problem,

Go to Visual Studio download page as mentioned in the error, download the installer for the latest version, run the installer,

if you already installed visual studio then click modify, make sure to select the required packages, especially 'windows 10 sdk' as in the image [Around 1.2gb download and 4.2gb disk space needed for first install].

Then run pip install rasa_nlu, to successfully build the package.

If Anaconda distribution is installed in your system, you can try running

conda install -c conda-forge httptools

then try to run the pip command,

But it won't work for all windows-python version combinations.Any time, building these kind of package requires visual c++.
