pip install pandas failed because of environment error

Question

I'm trying to install pandas but I'm getting this error:

I am running on the command prompt as an admin and I am typing in pip install pandas. I have pip version 18.1. I have also tried running this on the Windows PowerShell within the scripts directory for python.

I have never had an issue installing a package before.

What is the error caused by and how do I fix it?

Looks like you're trying to install on a corporate network with a firewall in place, can you connect to another WiFi or hot spot and try downloading again?
