Error during pip install xtts-api-server: error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required

I got the following error when installing xtts-api-server:

pip install xtts-api-server
..
...
....
error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. Get it with "Microsoft C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/

Failed to build tts
ERROR: Could not build wheels for tts, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

The only way to resolve it was a 10gb download of Visual Studio C++ and MS Build Tools 2015; selected from the visual studio installer, after you select Visual Studio C++.

Is this normal? Did all of you guys have to install VS C++ and the Build Tools? That was 10gb of software I'd rarely use. I'm not complaining, just wondering if this is normal?

I'm on windows using it with wsl. WSL install.
However WSL uses more than 10GB 😅
