Error while installing notebook using pip

note: I am on linux(ubuntu,mint)
I am trying to install jupyter. But after some searching I realised that the error I have when trying to install jupyter is due to notebook.
So here is the error I have when trying to install notebook using sudo pip install notebook.
Command "/usr/bin/python -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip-build-EKmj0F/scandir/setup.py';
f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();
exec(compile(code, __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-OB5xPr-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-EKmj0F/scandir/
If you want here is the whole output of pip install notebook.
Thank for answers in advance.
This is the relevant part of the error message:
_scandir.c:14:20: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

You need the Python headers:
sudo apt-get install python-dev
Your installation process tries to compile an extension with gcc and you seem to be missing the necessary decencies.

How to install MySQL-python - CentOS

I have already installed mysql-devel, it didn't solve the problem.
I am trying to executed the following commands:
sudo easy_install-2.7 MySQL-python
sudo pip2.7 install MySQL-python
in the first one I see:
error: Setup script exited with error: command 'gcc' failed with exit
status 1
In the second one:
Command "/usr/local/bin/python2.7 -u -c "import setuptools,
tokenize;file='/tmp/pip-build-nySVuQ/MySQL-python/setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize,
'open', open)(file);code=f.read().replace('\r\n',
'\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, file, 'exec'))" install
--record /tmp/pip-eC4DGP-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-nySVuQ/MySQL-python/
Is there any possibility to solve it?
Thanks in advance,

error: command 'clang' failed with exit status 1 on pip install TA-Lib

I'm trying to instal TA-Lib in Mac Sierra with:
sudo pip install TA-Lib
But I'm getting this error:
error: command 'clang' failed with exit status 1
----------------------------------------
Command "/usr/local/opt/python/bin/python2.7 -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/private/tmp/pip-build-bqV3xq/TA-Lib/setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-5HBbJo-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in /private/tmp/pip-build-bqV3xq/TA-Lib/
How can I fix this?

Installation instructions from their github readme indicate that on macos you need the following:
brew install ta-lib

"pip install jq" generates errors on Mac and Windows

Duplicate of this issue, but the first answer there is wrong (jq is supported on Windows) and the second refers to brew so I'm guessing is for Mac.
Windows
I am trying to install jq for python from the Windows command line, but get the following errors, possibly due to a missing temp\pip-build-rtnhmg\jq\onig-install-5.9.6 file:
error: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified
... and ...
Command "c:\python27\python.exe -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='c:\\users\\<USERNAME>\\appdata\\local\\temp\\pip-build-rtnhmg\\jq\\setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, 'exec'))" install --record c:\users\<USERNAME>\appdata\local\temp\pip-khvjht-record\install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in c:\users\<USERNAME>\appdata\local\temp\pip-build-rtnhmg\jq\
Does anyone know what's gone wrong here? Searches on StackOverflow and Google aren't giving me much to go on, and I'm not great with Windows and still new to python/pip.

Trying to install pyjq instead generates the same errors.
I'm not married to jq: I just need to format json data in python, and jq does a great job on the command line. If there are other python packages I should try instead, please feel free to recommend them. As mentioned above though, pyjq is failing install with the same errors.
Further details / steps taken:
I am on Windows 10 and have installed python 2.7.13, setuptools and pip using the steps from here ... no issues noted.
Using pip, I have successfully installed other python packages such as request and jira ... no issues noted.
Using chocolatey I have successfully installed jq for the command line, following these steps ... no issues noted.
I have tried using regular permissions, running cmd as administrator, starting a new cmd session, restarting the PC - but get the same errors.
Trying to install pyjq (pip install pyjq) generates the same errors.
Tried pip install jq on a Mac and got similar errors:
Command "/usr/local/opt/python/bin/python2.7 -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/private/var/folders/v5/4x0py0ns2td1h69vgllx7dpr0000gn/T/pip-build-DyMoT4/jq/setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /var/folders/v5/4x0py0ns2td1h69vgllx7dpr0000gn/T/pip-i6UKvt-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in /private/var/folders/v5/4x0py0ns2td1h69vgllx7dpr0000gn/T/pip-build-DyMoT4/jq/
for the Mac, followed the steps suggested from here and successfully installed setuptools as suggested, but pip install jq still fails with the same error.

Installing via pip
As per jq installation steps for pip's project:
Installation requires any programs required to build jq. This includes:
Autoreconf
The normal C compiler toolchain, such as gcc and make.
libtool
Python headers.
macOS
On macOS, you need XCode to be installed, and the following packages:
brew install autoconf automake libtool
brew install jq
Linux
You need the following packages to be installed:
yum install autoconf automake libtool python

Fail to install objccheckstyle using pip in Mac OS X

I'm trying to install objccheckstyle with this command:
sudo pip install objccheckstyle
But it fails after it says
Running setup.py install for lxml
and I get this error:
Command "/usr/bin/python -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/private/tmp/pip-build-DsaKIL/lxml/setup.py';exec(compile(getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-CFc6EG-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in /private/tmp/pip-build-DsaKIL/lxml
I also tried sudo pip install lxml, but it looks like it fails when tries to import libxml:
#include "libxml/xmlversion.h"
I don't find libxml with pip install. What could I be missing?
Thanks

Updating to the latest Xcode's command line tools solved the problem.
