Try this

easy_install pyproj

or

sudo easy_install pyproj

or download the tar file from pyproj and try to run

pip install [path to downloaded tar file]

Pyproj needs a compiler (vcvarsall.bat hints towards a Visual C in Windows), which you don't seem to have installed. Instead of installing from source, I suggest downloading a pre-compiled wheel and install the package from that.

the pre-compiled wheel from Gohlke's website worked for me – Joris May 01 '18 at 07:57

You need dev tools for Python3.5

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3.5-dev -y 
pip install pyproj

if using Python3.6 need to update the second line.
