When I'm trying to install slither using the command pipx install slither-analyzer, i got some errors as shown below:

$ pipx install slither-analyzer
Fatal error from pip prevented installation. Full pip output in file:
    C:\Users\User\pipx\logs\cmd_2025-03-06_11.09.19_pip_errors.log

pip failed to build package:
    ckzg

Some possibly relevant errors from pip install:
    error: subprocess-exited-with-error
    LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'blst.lib'
    error: command 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2022\\BuildTools\\VC\\Tools\\MSVC\\14.43.34808\\bin\\HostX86\\x64\\link.exe' failed with exit code 1181
    ERROR: Failed to build installable wheels for some pyproject.toml based projects (ckzg)

Error installing slither-analyzer.

any helps would be much appreciated

Hi! It seems you are having trouble building a third-party dependency (https://github.com/ethereum/c-kzg-4844). You can report the build failure on their repository.

I do find it strange though that your pip chose to build it from source instead of using the pre-built binaries available on PyPI. Please check and make sure you have a 64-bit installation of Python and Windows, as only 64-bit binaries are published on PyPI for ckzg.

I am using python x64 version and yes the pip command trying to build ckzg from source

same problem building ckzg but specify some other "missing" files.
wondering if this dependency is really necessary for slither?

anyway, I managed to install it on Windows11 now ethereum/c-kzg-4844#510 (comment)
