pip install error

Posted on March 8, 2019

I’m trying to install some modules using the following command:

pip install lxml watchdog txredisapi twistar bcrypt numpy colorlog twisted mysql-connector-python firebase-admin google-api-python-client

It executes and starts to show errors like " warning: no files found matching ‘’ " Finally, it all ends with the following error:

'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc'

Storing debug log for failure in /root/.pip/pip.log

Is something wrong in there? I tried upgrading PIP and installing setuptools, but it still doesn’t work.

Hey friend,

Try installing those one at a time and see if you can narrow down what is failing. I would suggest that one of those modules may be the culprit.
