Troubleshooting

1. Hard-link code error: This error should occur while installing pypathway using conda in windows. We now cannot figure out the solution, but install Visual C++ 2015 Build Tools and then install anaconda's pip should fix this issue

   pip install pypathway

2. Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools": http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools: Please download and install Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools. However, Install via Anaconda is more easy and highly recommended method in Windows.
