[Python] I running my python notebook in VScodes and Im trying to install Spacy but it is...

Im using VScodes to run my notebook. I have created an environment for this particular folder and tries installing spacy in it, how can I address this issue to ensure that its installing properly.

Note: Im using python 3.13.2 and I have installed C++ compiler in my VScodes and still the issue persists. If the issue is still with the C++ compiler can someone advice on how to install the compiler properly.

This is the line of code I ran:

pip install spacy



And its showing this error
