Error w pip install openbabel: Failed to build openbabel

问题

Forgive me, I'm a chemist and not a programmer (but I'm working on it.) I'm at a very beginner level.

I'm to install openbabel on my Mac for a project, but am having problems with installation.

I'm doing

pip install openbabel

I'm getting an error:

Collecting openbabel
  Using cached openbabel-2.4.1.tar.gz
Building wheels for collected packages: openbabel
  Running setup.py bdist_wheel for openbabel ... error  

The error continues here.

My research advisor had me install anaconda to hopefully remedy my issues. which pip yields /Users/melanie/anaconda/bin/pip, so I think I'm good there.

Using Python 3.6.1

Any advice? Thank you for any help you can offer.

Your research adviser has already tell you the solution.

As you are using Anaconda, try conda install -c openbabel openbabel. Then you are done.
