I'm new to Python and have been trying to install Jupyter packages with pip.

My command line throws me this Exception

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\TOSHIB~1\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-install-spdc68do\tornado\

Happens when I do pip install jupyter. How can I solve this?

I already did python -m pip install --upgrade pip and pip install --upgrade setuptools.

Are you using python 2 or 3? It may be simpler to install anaconda and let it handle the install, as the jupyter docs suggest – con--
Im using python 3, i'll try anaconda then. – M1rwen

Looks like the root cause is that jupyter depends on tornado, but the tornado install is failing.

It could be a lib64 issue and pip install -U wheel might do the trick.

Could also just be down to tornado requiring a C/C++ compiler you don't have installed. Anaconda comes with jupyter notebook and has a simple windows installer, so that seems like the easiest path.
