Installation does not work using instructions in docs

[george-polevoy]

As documented here
https://github.com/InteractiveComputerGraphics/SPlisHSPlasH/blob/master/doc/py_getting_started.md

cd SPlisHSPlasH
python setup.py bdist_wheel
pip install -I build/dist/*.whl

Does not work:

usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
   or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
   or: setup.py --help-commands
   or: setup.py cmd --help

Help suggests to use bdist_egg option, but it also does not work.

It seems that no compiler was found on your system. Did you install VS or gcc (requirements)?

Otherwise I would recommend to use a pre-built Python wheel:

pip install pysplishsplash
