Error installing triangle, additional requirement needed?

See original GitHub issue

Hi all,

I have previously used sectionproperties for my work computer, but now I am trying to install on a personal computer.

When I run pip install sectionproperties, the dependencies seem to work out okay, except for triangle. A copy-paste of error text below, but essentially it appears that Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or later is necessary. Please confirm if this is an additional requirement.

In the meantime, @stefsmeets has kindly provided a wide variety of triangle wheels (up to python 3.10) here.

Hi @robbievanleeuwen , first of al thanks for your quick reply! I first tried that on python 3.9 but I got the same issue when importing. Then tried in python 3.8 and works fine now!
