Noob problem - pip3 install py-algorand-sdk does not work

AlgoSDK
1

Hi everyone

Algorand caught my interest today and I try to get more familiar with it – but already failed in Step 1.

I tried to install the sdk by using the commend (in Admin mode): pip3 install py-algorand-sdk

However, I always get "command erred out with exit status 1. I already updated my setuptools. Do you have any idea what my issue could be? Highly appreciated!!

Here the full message that I get:

     ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:
