Hello, I am trying to install the RTDE python package to communicate with UR16e. But i am getting the following error every time. I have seen some of the posts relevant to the RTDE install error and suggested to install the cmake. But after installing the Cmake , i am still having the same problem. How can i solve this issue. Thank you.
