@beyond-space21 This could be a cascade error, which means this error is caused by another error that happened earlier. Could you try to read the error thrown just before this error in the traceback error stack?

As this package embeds C code, pip tries to compile the C code before installing. Hence a C compiler is required for this purpose. Sometimes, this process could be causing the issue, so I suggest installing a C compiler like gcc.

I am getting the same error message. I have gcc installed.
