I am trying to install the google-api-python-client and I keep getting this error: ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: python setup.py egg_info

More specifically it happens when it is collecting 'googleapis-common-protos<2.0dev,>=1.6.0'. Any tips on how to solve this and has this happened to someone else? I have the latest version of python and pip

Here is the full command output:

  • Can you provide your python version? Also, are you using a virtual environment? try `pip install python-dotenv` then `pip install google-api-python=client` – Aerials Apr 30 '20 at 10:43
