Can be resolved by pip3 install -U pytest

I will test clean installation cases and will PR the documentation

[chenlocus]

after install pytest, I still encountered this: Using cached steem-0.18.103.tar.gz Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info: Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "C:\Users\holroyd\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-tqwdzgty\steem\setup.py", line 8, in import package_meta # this is a simple tool for loading metadata from Pipfile and other places File "C:\Users\holroyd\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-tqwdzgty\steem\package_meta.py", line 10, in from setuptools.config import read_configuration ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'setuptools.config'
