pip install re2 gives an error

Question

I'm trying to download re2 by the command pip install re2 and it gives me this:

Why it isn't working? Or should I download re2 by other way?

NOTE: I figured out that re2 must have google's re2 c++ installed already, If that the problem, can you show me how can I install google's re2 c++ and re2 in simple way? I got confused from what they wrote about how to install.

If you are on ubuntu, sudo apt-get install libre2-dev is required prior to calling

pip install re2
