pip install errors on linux (requires installing gcc & gxx)

[MaxGhenis]

When installing bllip-parser from Ubuntu via pip (pip install bllipparser), I got Building wheel for bllipparser (setup.py) ... error.

Per this article, installing these in advance got it working:

conda install gcc_linux-64
conda install gxx_linux-64

May be worth adding to an installation piece of a README.

Full error:

It appears that this solution works for linux system only, how do we resolve this issue for windows?
