Go to the link and download this , if you have it then just open it

Once you open it, it might take some other steps but it's obvious and just go with it.

You'll see you might have something like this, just download it or resume.

If updating above doesn't work then you need to configure or make some updates here. You can make some updates here too my clicking "Modify".

Check that and download what you need there or you might found there that you just need to update Microsoft Visual C++ as stated on the error, but I also suggest to update everything there cause you might still need it on your future programs, I think those with the C++ as I've done that before and had a similar problem just like that when installing a python package for creating WorldCloud visualization.
