You can simply use conda package manager to install wordcloud, just run:

Answer 2

There is a new version available now but this one worked for me

With Anaconda python 3.6

• download from this link.
• wordcloud 1.3.2‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl
• Then don't extract the file, copy and paste the dir in cmd.
• Use this command pip install wordcloud-1.3.2-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
