Windows 10 installation still fails

Please don’t tell me that “Superset is not supported on Windows” !! This is a Python toolset and is supposed to be cross-platform.
“Not supported on Windows” is an unacceptable cop-out. (Yes, I do appreciate all the great work the community is doing, I just don’t like using Unix for Python work.

When I follow the instructions, I get the same failure errors when it goes to build the Superset and Geohash packages. All the other packages build successfully. I’ve already installed the Visual C++ v14 compiler runtime inside Visual Studio 2019, by selecting the VC++ 14 workload.

How do we correctly build these 2 packages Superset and Geohash so the rest of the Superset installation works? Can these be built separately after all the other packages are built successfully?

I get three major errors,

1. “fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git”

2.

Manually installing the .whl file from https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#python-geohash with pip install python_geohash‑0.8.5‑cp37‑cp37m‑win_amd64.whl (or other version) fixed this for me.
