Hello,
I’m trying to install an application that requires some python libraries and applications. I am currently stuck on cryptography. When I run “pip install cryptography” I get a list of error messages

Building wheels for collected packages: cryptography
  Running setup.py bdist_wheel for cryptography ... error
  Complete output from command /usr/bin/python -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip-build-UCjpqw/cryptography/setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, 'exec'))" bdist_wheel -d /tmp/tmpBDM5K3pip-wheel- --python-tag cp27:

Is anyone able to help with this?

Try pip install wheel

Thanks. Tried that but it says that “Requirement already satisfied: wheel in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages”

Try

sudo apt install python-cryptography

That will install it system wide.

That worked. I’ve also had to do apt install python-openssl
Thank you so much

how can I use pip as I get

osmc@osmc:~$ pip 
-bash: pip: command not found
osmc@osmc:~$ pip3
-bash: pip3: command not found

Install it first

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install python3-pip
