This error occurs when pip cannot compile a package from source. Python packages with C extensions or compiled dependencies may fail if build tools are missing or incompatible.
pip downloads Python packages and installs them. For pure Python packages, this works by copying files. However, some packages have compiled C extensions or need build-time compilation. When pip attempts to build these packages and the build process fails—usually due to missing compiler, build tools, or incompatible versions—it reports a 'failed building wheel' error.
Review the error message above and identify which cause applies to your situation. Run additional diagnostics if needed.

Once you've addressed the root cause, try running 'pip install' again.
