@om35 I am also facing similar issue, were you able to find any resolution?

[soldni]

I would recommend running QuickUMLS on WSL

@soldni Thanks for the heads up, it worked.

@soldni The problem is that the Readme file for quickumls-simstring was probably saved from linux and encoded using utf-8. When the setup.py tries to read it on windows, it throws an error. I was able to get past this error by modifying quickumls-simstring setup.py Line 92 from:

with open('README.md') as reader:

to:

with open('README.md','r',encoding='utf-8') as reader:
