To be able to help we need a complete description that explains what trouble the user is getting.
I recommend adding the error messages and stack traces to the issue text.
Adding a minimal reproducer is even better and in some cases fundamental...

What backend (modified setuptools, scikit-build (classic), scikit-build-core) would be useful info too.

I used python version is 3.12.4，Does it too new？

[stone7300]

I am waiting for your answer in line. Thank you!

There are pre-built wheels for Python 3.7-3.11, so using Python 3.11 would work without trying to build the library. I believe the message you are seeing (NMake not found) is because CMake couldn't find the MSVC compiler on your system. Do you have Visual Studio installed? You need that to build code. The library you are trying to build doesn't seem to have been touched in a year, but you could try opening an issue there to get Python 3.12 (and 3.13) wheels built. The author does seem to have responded quickly to the last request for missing wheels.

Yes, "Successfully installed elkai-2.0.1" means it was successfully installed.
