I have been trying to install xlwings module (on python 3.7) from terminal and getting some errors. At the last try I have reached a point that when I type pip3 install xlwings I receive below error.

gcc -Wno-unused-result -Wsign-compare -Wunreachable-code -fno-common -dynamic -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall -arch x86_64 -g -DPSUTIL_POSIX=1 -DPSUTIL_VERSION=550 -DPSUTIL_OSX=1 -I/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/include/python3.7m -c psutil/_psutil_common.c -o build/temp.macosx-10.9-x86_64-3.7/psutil/_psutil_common.o

I don't know anything about terminal but open to learn. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

alternatively, you can install git bash which gives you mac/linux style terminal – Amir Imani

I beleive you need to download and install the xcode developer tools (you don't need the full xcode install). It should fix the problem. See this answer on a related question for more details.
