I can't install the Spacy library using the terminal in VSCode on Windows 10
I am trying to install the Spacy library in VSCode in a folder with a virtual environment. The output appearing in the terminal is excessively long; I will share it with a [pastebin](https://pastebin.com/xK9UYbEy) later. My version of Python is `Python 3.13.0 `and pip is` pip 2.42`, so they are up to date. I think the most important part is the following:
```
× pip subprocess to install build dependencies did not run successfully.
│ exit code: 1
╰─> [113 lines of output]
Ignoring numpy: markers 'python_version < "3.9"' don't match your environment
[74 lines of output]
Ignoring numpy: markers 'python_version < "3.9"' don't match your environment
note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
```
In the [spacy GitHub repository](https://github.com/explosion/spaCy/discussions/10872), they provide a possible explanation. They say it may be necessary to install a previous version of Python, but if this were true, many people would have this problem. I’m not sure.
I have followed the instructions from the official Visual Studio Code website for Python and Spacy as well. I have installed vs_buildsTools to have a C++ compiler too, But I cannot continue, i have always the same issue.
