Error during installtion of bluepy using pip 22.2

Question:

I`m trying to install bluepy with Python3.9.10 and pip 22.2 installed.
While doing that I keep getting the following output:

C:UsersUser>pip3 install bluepy
Collecting bluepy
  Using cached bluepy-1.3.0.tar.gz (217 kB)
  Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... done
Using legacy 'setup.py install' for bluepy, since package 'wheel' is not installed.

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.

I also tried the "solution" discussed in this comment of a similar question, but this did not work for me. I´ve also tried reinstalling python, alongside pip, even if the output from above says that it is not a problem with pip.

These are the packages I installed with the Visual Studio Installer:
installed packages

Now I don`t know what else I should try.
Thanks

Answers:

See this github issue:

bluepy only runs on linux

And also The README on github:

Python interface to Bluetooth LE on Linux

This is why you are unable to install it on windows
