Error installing quandl with pip on ubuntu 14.04

Question

here is the error that I keep getting. I keep trying to install the quandl modulen and keep running into this same error. I have tried looking into some other questions but they do not provide any good solutions. I tried looking through the errors but I already have openssl installed.

I am new to ubuntu and linux so I dont know if there is something vital that I am missing

Answer 1

I think you are just missing openssl

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

I don't think pip can get that dependency

Answer 2

in regards to the Quandl module problem I think it is much easier to use Conda:

1. Install Anaconda. (search how- very easy)
2. use conda install quandl.

3. on my device I used (import Quandl) and it worked

   sometimes you need to use (import quandl)
