Correction, it states:

"""
Unless you are using a static binary distribution (e.g. from a Windows
binary installer), lxml requires libxml2 and libxslt to be
installed...
"""

You are on windows and should be `pip install`-ing the binary package.

See the Python documentation on installing packages:

<https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/installing-packages/>

Also the python package index page for lxml:

<https://pypi.org/project/lxml/>

Also note that lxml is a separate project and has its own mailing list
which is likely a better forum for this kind of question:

<https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/lxml>
