You're nearly there!   First - upgrade pip to the latest version:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip

Then try installing the `*amd64.whl` - if your *Python* is 64-bit.
Remember that your Python may be 32-bit even though your Windows is 64
bit.  Test which, with:

python -c "import platform; print(platform.architecture())"

Cheers,

Matthew
