Installing Google-cloud Using Pip Fails

Im trying to install the google-cloud python package, and I encounter the foloowing meesage whenn the installation fails: pip install --upgrade google-cloud Collecting google-

Solution 1:

Since I cannot comment, I will answer it here.

I had this issue once. I fixed it by doing the following:

pip install --upgrade pip pip install --upgrade setuptools

Some discussions relate this to an issue with Python 3*, and others with the version of pip.

If upgrading pip and setuptools does not work for you, try using Python 2.7*.

I have tested on my machine using Python 2.7.13 with pip v9.0.1.

Though this is a known issue, it has been discussed here and here

Solution 2:

Well if you are using python 3.6 this issue can be solved by following steps

1) pip install --upgrade pip setuptools

2) pip install --upgrade google-cloud-datastore

For me it worked.

Thank you
