Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-j3y67yvi/django-socketio/
I tried to install it using pip but I was unsuccessful.
What you can do is: 1) download the Source Code from GitHub to where you want the files to be
git clone https://github.com/stephenmcd/django-socketio
2) unzip it and go inside the django-socketio directory 3) run:
python3 setup.py install
you can check if it has installed by running the command:
pip3 freeze
hope this helps!
