Why cannot I pip install a Python3 package?

Question

I am new to Python (3) using Windows 10, 64. When trying to install a package, I get the long error message pasted below. What should I do?

(base) C:\Users\xxx>pip install boilerpipe-py3
Collecting boilerpipe-py3

I also tried the following: pip install --upgrade pip. I got a long error message for that as well, ending with

Installing collected packages: pip
  Found existing installation: pip 19.0.1
ERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'c:\\users\\xxx\\appdata\\roaming\\python\\python37\\site-packages\\pip-19.0.1.dist-info\\RECORD'

Not 100% sure, but you possibly are having issues with set up tools. Try `pip install --upgrade setuptools` and include which version you want it to install to. Personally if I had to recommend working with multiple versions of python like it seems you are I'd go with conda environments in pycharm. Lot less issues when working on multiple python versions — Jin, May 22 '19 at 20:46

The package tries to download https://storage.googleapis.com/google-code-archive-downloads/v2/code.google.com/boilerpipe/boilerpipe-1.2.0.0-bin.tar.gz but the server does not allow access to the file.

You should take the issue to the package maintainer.
