Having this same issue with the gcc error on MacOS. Have tried both:

brew install gcc

as well as

brew reinstall gcc

Have been unable to install with pip.

[thorwhalen]

Same here with python 3.8.2, on MacOS 10.14.6 (Mojave).

Same issue here.
#28 (comment)
check it for the solution.

I had a similar issue on Windows with python 3.7.6. First I got a message saying it couldn't find swig.exe. I installed swig. Then I got "No such file or directory" for cl.exe. I tried installing Visual Studio with C++ a few times and fiddling with the path / environment variable and nothing worked. Eventually, I just tried a conda environment that I had previously created with python 3.6. That worked.

Would it be possible to include in the error message something about the python version?

Anyone with Windows, follow these steps before install:

choco install swig
choco install VisualCppBuildTools
