    - `pip install numpy`   (last NumPy release on PyPi)

You need to install Visual C++ 14.0 Build tools. In this link look for Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019 under Tools for Visual Studio 2019 section. Download it and in installation check the C++ Build tool. And also make sure the latest versions of MSVCv142 - VS 2019 C++ x64/x86 build tools and Windows 10 SDK are checked. for more information see this link.
