pip install error, freetype and libpng missing (Windows) – CentOS

I have downloaded a repo from github and am trying to install the requirements in a venv. It’s telling me freetype and libpng libraries are missing, so I went to the websites and installed them. However I’m still being told they’re missing. (after restarting of course)

Here’s the error in the log:

It’s the same problem as here:
Matplotlib install issues. Pip Centos – Freetype "Missing" when it is installed

However I’m on Windows so that solution doesn’t work.

I believe the solution is saying that this user need to install the freetype development headers, are these the same as the “sources,” ie the optional part of installing freetype? If so, I have downloaded them but have no idea where to put them. There’s manifest and src directories.
