Pycharm Error 'pkg-config' Is Required To Install This Package On Windows

When I try to install a package in Windows Pycharm I get this error Collecting secp256k1 (from sawtooth-signing->sawtooth-sdk==1.0.1) Using cached secp256k1-0.13.2.tar.gz

Solution 1:

Once you've downloaded pkgconfig as described in your link, you must also add the folder to your environment variables path.

In my case:

1. I downloaded and extracted pkgconfig to C:\Program Files (x86)\
2. I added C:\Program Files (x86)\pkg-config_0.26-1_win32\bin to my path
3. I put the required .dll files in the bin folder also.

Keep in mind you will have to restart in order for the changes to path to be effective.
