I am using python version 3.8.5 and I have pip version 20.2.4 on Windows 10 64-bit.
I need to install the h5py to install Keras library for which I run the command pip install h5py in the cmd . This gives me the following error:

ERROR: Failed building wheel for h5py
Failed to build h5py
ERROR: Could not build wheels for h5py which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly
I get the same problem when I directly install keras using pip install keras as that also requires h5py. I am using pycharm and even installing keras from there is showing an error which I think is because of h5py
