I'm having a hard time installing QtpyVCP on a new computer even though I've installed it before on a different pc without issue. I think it's a python error but I don't really understand. appreciate any help.

Mint 19.3

I'm following the instructions here:
www.qtpyvcp.com/install/quick_start.html

after the "pip install qtpyvcp" i get the following error:
Running setup.py bdist_wheel for qtpyvcp ... error

You need to install the wheel package. Open you package management and search for wheel. If there is something with python and wheel install it. Afterwards the installation should run. Later there will miss some other package it is qtwebkit install it also and you should be fine
