Most of the errors seem coming from different packages you are missing in your system.

1. "package 'wheel' is not installed." -- try installing wheel
2. Err:17 http://ppa.launchpad.net/named-data/ppa/ubuntu 20.04.1 Release 404 Not Found [IP: 2001:67c:1560:8008::15 80] - this also seems a more generic type of error, have you tried 'sudo apt update'?
3. ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils.core' - try installing "python3-distutils" ? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55749206/modulenotfounderror-no-module-named-distutils-core

Err:17 http://ppa.launchpad.net/named-data/ppa/ubuntu 20.04.1 Release 404 Not Found [IP: 2001:67c:1560:8008::15 80] - this also seems a more generic type of error, have you tried 'sudo apt update'? - Yes I did. Is it something to do with Ubuntu 20.04.1 version? Because I read in the documentation that, it has been tested on Ubuntu 18 version.

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils.core' - try installing "python3-distutils" ? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55749206/modulenotfounderror-no-module-named-distutils-core - I had also visite the added stackoverflow link and installed the package. Still I was getting the same error.

If it's related to Ubuntu 20.04 version, then maybe I can try installing Ubuntu 18 version and try to follow the instruction again.

I installed Ubuntu 18 and followed the steps from the beginning. Every issue mentioned above got solved.
