Hi,
it appears some errors as follows when I install pipype using Pypi on my windows10.Can you tell me how to resolve it?

This appears to be a Visual Studio issue, lacking a C++ compiler. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31953769/visual-studio-doesnt-have-cl-exe

It might be easiest to use anaconda and install from conda, which will have pre-compiled versions of traits, numpy, nipype, etc.
