I’m working on a python project. After cloning a remote git repository I followed the instructions in the README file, executing multiple pip install commands in my VSCode PowerShell terminal to set up the project correctly. However the last step was to run the following command sudo apt install cmake libboost-all-dev libblas-dev to install the dependencies that can not be installed via pip install. Since I am working on Windows I used the Chocolatey package manager changing the command to choco install cmake libboost-all-dev libblas-dev. Cmake was found and installed successfully, however it fails to find the Boost library and the BLAS library. I found out that the commands ‘libboost-all-dev’ and ‘libblas-dev’ are supposed to install all the correponding libraries of Boost and BLAS on Ubuntu, however I couldn’t find an alternative for Windows. So how do I install and embed Boost and BLAS on Windows in my python project? If this is important: The project runs in an virtual environment (but I have already set this up previously and it can be activated without any problems).

Running choco install cmake libboost-all-dev libblas-dev using Chocolatey as a package manager only installed CMake, but it fails to install Boost and BLAS, because they can’t be found. I also found out that the ‘Scoop’ package manager seems to be able to find Boost, but not BLAS. So it wouldn’t really solve my problem.
