Unable to install with pip via windows

When running "pip install pyetaler" I get the following error on windows with python 3.9. Is there any way around this or is this library now out of date?

Building wheels for collected packages: pyetaler

Hmm.. I haven't update this repository in a while. Seems either Pip deprecated stuff and that caused some failure or cppyy failed to generate the binding. Can you run pip install cppyy and see if it works? I never ran cppyy on Windows before.

Yep I can install cppyy fine. The problem is with building pyetaler. Do I need to have etaler installed on my system? I spent a long time trying to install that with cmake and changing all the files around. I went through the whole installing process but can't quite seem to get boost installed. Do I need it to run the python wrapper? Is there a simple solution instead for this "bdist_wheel" error?
