Installation error with ipython on macbook

Question

I am trying to install ipython on my macbook using command $ sudo easy_install ipython

Before that I have installed brew.

But when i install ipython command, i am getting the following error:

error: Setup script exited with error in ipython setup command: Invalid environment marker: sys_platform == "darwin" and platform_python_implementation == "CPython"

Could someone help me how to solve this? I need to develop project quickly.

Thank you in Advance!

I just had the same issue, solved it by upgrading pip, try:

pip install --upgrade pip

then retry installing ipython:

pip install ipython
