Hi, welcome to stackoverflow. For posting a good question, always say what your goal is and what you already tried to achieve it. I dont want to read through 2 pages of logs to find out what you actually want to do. Also, regarding infrastructural issues, its always useful to post what environment you are using. — MichaelJanz, Sep 11 '20 at 07:17

The instructions for Linux include installing the python dev libraries first, then installing psutil:

sudo apt-get install gcc python3-dev
sudo pip3 install psutil

The error you're getting reports missing the python header file which is installed in python3-dev.

Not 100% sure, but OL7 uses `yum` instead of `apt-get`. – VPfB Sep 11 '20 at 07:06
yum or apt-get, regardless of the package manager to install software, you need to install python3-dev. The code snippet I provided was from psutil's documentation, which doesn't cover how to install on all linux variants. – gregory Sep 11 '20 at 14:36
