I'm attempting to install the manimlib package by 3blue1brown for math animations, all goes well until the installation of pycairo
I have followed the instructions from https://github.com/3b1b/manim, downloading and installing all of the system requirements "ffmpeg, sox, latex and cairo"
I have also followed instructions to install the Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools however the same error occurs.
I attempted to pip install manimlib and it displayed the errors below Many other tutorials for installing manimlib all gave me the same error.

The installation on pycairo on its own works when using the file pycairo‑1.18.1‑cp37‑cp37m‑win32.whl from https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pycairo, however it appears to try and uninstall this and install the version 1.18.0 instead of the latest 1.18.1.
