I think you got the nmake error. Do you have visual studio 2017 installed? nFollow this video, that should solve the problem:

If you're running 2020 use the built in compiler. A missing nmake means there's a path/system variable that's not pointing in the right place, if you look for nmake in here and the installation threads there will be some guidance. n
