Unable to install pycontractions

Question

I am trying to install pycontractions either over Jupyter Lap or PyCharm but I get an error.

Also tried to install packages individually but it failed.

I am using an Anaconda3 environment with Python 3.8

   command: 'c:\users\grue\anaconda3\python.exe' -u -c 'import io, os, sys, setuptools, tokenize; sys.argv[0] = '"'"'C:\\Users\\grue\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\pip-install-frozt89x\\language-check_ec3c23f7676848a7a4726feaea8d1549\\setup.py'"'"'; __file__='"'"'C:\\Users\\grue\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\pip-install-frozt89x\\language-check_ec3c23f7676848a7a4726feaea8d1549\\setup.py'"'"';f = getattr(tokenize, '"'"'open'"'"', open)(__file__) if os.path.exists(__file__) else io.StringIO('"'"'from setuptools import setup; setup()'"'"');code = f.read().replace('"'"'\r\n'"'"', '"'"'\n'"'"');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, '"'"'exec'"'"'))' bdist_wheel -d 'C:\Users\grue\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-wheel-ybyl27go'

This issue is described here at the issue site of this package. This is the pertinent advice:

This is actually a language-check issue. To install pycontractions, Java 8 must be used until language-check fixes their installer script:

$ sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk
$ sudo update-alternatives --set java /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java
$ pip install language-check
$ pip install pycontractions

I'd suggest doing those last two in your JupyterLab notebok and putting % in front of them as that enables the new magic that installs to the right place for the notebook.
