      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/

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
  ERROR: Failed building wheel for spacy
Failed to build spacy
ERROR: Could not build wheels for spacy, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

I already have Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 installed in my system. I can't figure out what is pyproject.toml-based projects and how to install them.

I think you must have followed this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64261546/how-to-solve-error-microsoft-visual-c-14-0-or-greater-is-required-when-inst.

Which Python version are you running? I had a similar problem when I used 3.10. I had to downgrade mine to 3.8. Can you try that?

[ShweataNHegde]

Alternatively, I can remove scispacy from the dependency, since we don't use it all the time.

I have python 3.10 installed in my system. I will try to downgrade it.

I have downgraded it. Now, this issue is resolved.
