Some python packages require other ways, for example, the POT package requires a specific C++ compiler to install. Make sure you read the entire instructions and have everything you need. Another thing that works for me if you have all the requirements and you are running Linux like me, you can just simply lead your terminal to where the file is and just run for example python package.py and it installs. Hopefully, this helped you and you can install your package.
