Question: I installed pyhton on a windows 64bit machine (Version 3.10). Afterwards I like to install psutil with: python -m pip install psutil  but I get following error message: Collecting psutil Using cached psutil-5.8.0.tar.gz (470 kB) Preparing metadata (setup.py): started Preparing metadata (setup.py): finished with status 'done' Using legacy 'setup.py install' for psutil, since package 'wheel' is not installed.

What is the problem here??

Answer:  Install missing package pip install wheel    Install this tools https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/  mark this option during the installation =>    Restart Your Machine.    Run this command in cmd pip install --upgrade setuptools    Now You Can Run this command in cmd pip install psutil    Finally It's up and running ! :-D ;-) Tested now, on my machine(win10, python 3.10.0, pip 21.3)! Good Luck ! Best regards :-D
