Unable to install uwsgi with pip on Ubuntu 16.04

Question

I have taken VPS from godaddy and built a machine with Ubuntu 16.04. I want to host a Python (Django) application. I successfully installed Nginix. Unfortunately, I am not able to install Nginix with pip on this machine.

When I run:

sudo pip install uwsgi

I am getting the following error.

I was able to install on Amazon EC2 (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.4) using

`sudo pip install uwsgi`

Answer 1

I have the same issue with installing uwsgi on Ubuntu 16.04. Conda solved my problem.

conda install -c conda-forge uwsgi

Answer 2

You can try installing the C compiler and python development files by running

apt-get install build-essential python3-dev

and then try to install uwsgi
