This seems to be the first error.
Do you have cmake installed?

Although that is likely to just trigger more errors because...
this may imply it is going to try to build the package from C
source, do you have a suitable C build environment available?

But I'm no expert in pip and the install tools. I don't use
many 3rd party modules.
