installing thundergbm for Python generates this error: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\DonaldSeger\\Desktop\\thundergbm\\build\\bin\\Debug\\thundergbm.dll'

I am trying to install thundergbm for Python on a Windows 10 (64 bit) machine, but ran into this problem. I have cloned the thundergbm repository and executed all the steps up to and including the cmake command. Then I switched to the python folder to run "python setup.py install", but got the following error:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\Users\DonaldSeger\Desktop\thundergbm\build\bin\Debug\thundergbm.dll'

What might be the cause of this problem? Is there a simple way to explain how to install thundergbm for Python or inside a python virtual environment?

You can manually build the wheel file using the instructions here. After you have the wheel file, you can install ThunderGBM via pip install.
