Unable to install gensim in python -

i have problem installing gensim module. installed numpy , scipy dependent modules getting error while installing gensim. tried solutions given in python pip install gives "command "python setup.py egg_info" failed error code 1" none of them worked.

here error:

the error text you've supplied indicates actual problem (a) involving attempt install scipy, on gensim relies; (b) related broken https connection, indicating problem network connectivity (or blocking secure-connection).

also, it's rare need specify --target pip; if environment (reachable executables) correctly set-up, you'd able pip install gensim. (and if installing non-default location, may have issues later when active environment isn't using libraries expected.)

suggestions:

• check able access remote secure websites, homepage of pypi repository pip using: https://pypi.python.org/pypi
• try again later; perhaps network issues transient
• try pip install scipy
• consider using conda distribution tool, tends well-optimized windows installations. (i prefer miniconda variant, installs minimum set of things request.)

also, while python, gensim, , related packages can work on windows systems, note development/testing on such python/nlp/ml open-source happens on linux/osx systems. result, there installation/configuration issues on windows, , there's less prior-documented troubleshooting people who've hit same issues. if have choice, such work goes smoothest on linux/unix systems.
