I faced the same problem with the same error message but on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) instead:

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-install-w71uo1rg/poster/

I tested all the solutions provided above and none of them worked for me. I read the full TraceBack and found out I had to create the virtual environment with Python version 2.7 instead (the default one uses Python 3.5 instead):

virtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python2.7 my_venv

Once I activated it, I run pip install unirest successfully.

I got stuck exactly with the same error with psycopg2  It looks like I skipped a few steps while installing Python and related packages    sudo apt-get install python-dev libpq-dev Go to your virtual env pip install psycopg2    In your case you need to replace psycopg2 with the package you have an issue with    It worked seamlessly

I had the same problem and was able to fix by doing the following   Windows Python needs Visual C   libraries installed via the SDK to build code  such as via setuptools extension Extension or numpy distutils core Extension  For example  building f2py modules in Windows with Python requires Visual C   SDK as installed above  On Linux and Mac  the C   libraries are installed with the compiler   https   www scivision co python-windows-visual-c  -14-required

pip3 install --upgrade setuptools WARNING  pip is being invoked by an old script wrapper  This will fail in a future version of pip  Please see https   github com pypa pip issues 5599 for advice on fixing the underlying issue         To avoid this problem you can invoke Python with  -m pip  instead of running pip directly         use python3 -m pip  command  eg  python3 -m pip install --user pyqt5

Here s a little guide explaining a little bit how I usually install new packages on Python   Windows  It seems you re using Windows paths  so this answer will stick to that particular SO    I never use a system-wide Python installation  I only use virtualenvs  and usually I try to have the latest version of 2 x  amp  3 x  My first attempt is always doing pip install package i want in some of my Visual Studio command prompts  What Visual Studio command prompt  Well  ideally the Visual Studio which matches the one which was used to build Python  For instance  let s say your Python installation says Python 2 7 11  v2 7 11 6d1b6a68f775  Dec  5 2015  20 40 30   MSC v 1500 64 bit  AMD64   on win32  The version of Visual Studio used to compile Python can be found here  so v1500 means I d be using vs2008 x64 command prompt If the previous step failed for some reason I just try using easy install package i want If the previous step failed for some reason I go to gohlke website and I check whether my package is available over there  If it s so  I m lucky  I just download it into my virtualenv and then I just go to that location using a command prompt and I do pip install package i want whl If the previous step didn t succeed I ll just try to build the wheel myself and once it s generated I ll try to install it with pip install package i want whl   Now  if we focus in your specific problem  where you re having a hard time installing the unroll package  It seems the fastest way to install it is doing something like this    git clone https   github com Zulko unroll cd unroll  amp  amp  python setup py bdist wheel Copy the generated unroll-0 1 0-py2-none-any whl file from the created dist folder into your virtualenv  pip install unroll-0 1 0-py2-none-any whl   That way it will install without any problems  To check it really works  just login into the Python installation and try import unroll  it shouldn t complain   One last note  This method works almost 99  of the time  and sometimes you ll find some pip packages which are specific to Unix or Mac nbsp OS nbsp X  in that case  when that happens I m afraid the best way to get a Windows version is either posting some issues to the main developers or having some fun by yourself porting to Windows  typically a few hours if you re not lucky

I had the same problem   The problem was   pyparsing 2 2 was already installed and my requirements txt was trying to install pyparsing 2 0 1 which throw this error  Context  I was using virtualenv  and it seems the 2 2 came from my global OS Python site-packages  but even with --no-site-packages flag  now by default in last virtualenv  the 2 2 was still present  Surely because I installed Python from their website and it added Python libraries to my  PATH   Maybe a pip install --ignore-installed would have worked   Solution  as I needed to move forwards  I just removed the pyparsing  2 0 1 from my requirements txt

About the error code  According to the Python documentation      This module makes available standard errno system symbols  The value of each symbol is the corresponding integer value  The names and descriptions are borrowed from linux include errno h  which should be pretty all-inclusive    Error code 1 is defined in errno h and means Operation not permitted   About your error  Your setuptools do not appear to be installed  Just follow the Installation Instructions from the PyPI website   If it s already installed  try  pip install --upgrade setuptools   If it s already up to date  check that the module ez setup is not missing  If it is  then  pip install ez setup   Then try again  pip install unroll   If it s still not working  maybe pip didn t install upgrade setup tools properly so you might want to try  easy install -U setuptools   And again  pip install unroll

That means some packages in pip are old or not correctly installed    Try checking version and then upgrading pip Use auto remove if that works  If the pip command shows an error all the time for any command or it freezes  etc  The best solution is to uninstall it or remove it completely  Install a fresh pip and then update and upgrade your system  I have given a solution to installing pip fresh here - python  can  39 t open file get-pip py error 2  no such file or directory
