<div class="admonition error">
<p class="admonition-title">failure "ImportError: DLL load failed"</p>
<p>
If you run into this error on Windows the reason is most likely, that the
<a class="reference external" href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads">Visual C++ 2019 redistributable</a> is not installed, which is required to
find C++ Libraries (The C++ 2019 version includes the 2015, 2017 and 2019 version).</p>

using conda
