Pip installation error "ERROR: Failed building wheel for hdmedians" about hdmedians

[Alex-Kopylov]

I had the same issue and resolved it by:

1. pip3 install --upgrade pip
2. pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
3. Upgrading Microsoft Visual C++ (14.0 or greater)

Getting a similar error when trying to download biocore/evident. Error was leading to hdmedians so tried to update to 0.14.2 but got this following error:

Hello I had the same problem in Ubunutu, but updating setuptools and wheel did not change anything (I already had the last version).

To fix the problem I had to install apt packages :
apt-get install gcc libpq-dev python3-dev

After that, I could install hdmedians with pip, hope this could help ! :)
