I'm using conda on Mac OS to build a python3.6 environment and I meet the same

failed building wheel for atari-py

Then I tried to find atari-py on here:

https://github.com/openai/atari-py

On this page it says: Make sure you have cmake installed. On OSX, you probably want

brew install cmake.

Then after I install cmake and rebuild environment on my mac, there is no such fail anymore and the environment built success. Hope this will give you some hints!

Regarding " Populate wheelhouse with wheels you need " section in the link: How to get into and adjust pip.conf ? How to activate virtualenv ?

Per-user:

On Unix the default configuration file is: $HOME/.config/pip/pip.conf which respects the XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable.
On macOS the configuration file is $HOME/Library/Application Support/pip/pip.conf.
On Windows the configuration file is %APPDATA%\pip\pip.ini.

Inside a virtualenv:

On Unix and macOS the file is `$VIRTUAL_ENV/pip.conf`
On Windows the file is: `%VIRTUAL_ENV%\pip.ini`

To edit it you could use your favorite text editor. You could find more info in: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/user_guide/?highlight=pip.conf

Here another answer that could help you guiding (there is a complete faq to install some packages): Build wheel for a package (like scipy) lacking dependency declaration

And to understand & work with virtualenv, you should read: https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/

Hope this helps! Good luck!
