I am working with python and getting the error message:

python2.7 setup.py bdist_wheel
 usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
  or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
  or: setup.py --help-commands
  or: setup.py cmd --help
 error: invalid command 'bdist_wheel'

Here is the detail of the code that I ran

sudo apt-get install python python-dev --force-yes --assume-yes --fix-broken
 curl --silent --show-error --retry 5 https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | sudo python2.7
 sudo -H pip install setuptools wheel virtualenv --upgrade
- sudo apt-get install python python-dev --force-yes --assume-yes --fix-broken
 - curl --silent --show-error --retry 5 https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | sudo python2.7
 - sudo -H pip install setuptools wheel virtualenv --upgrade

I need an explanation for the problems I’ve encountered. How to fix error: invalid command ‘bdist_wheel’?

    The cause: The cause of this error perhaps because you haven’t installed wheel package.

    The solution: To fix this problem, you’ll need to install wheel package. Just use the below command:

    pip install wheel

    Then run:

    python setup.py bdist_wheel

  2. Below are the required installations for an AWS Ubuntu 18.04 new machine. 

    sudo apt-get install gcc libpq-dev -y
sudo apt-get install python-dev python-pip -y
sudo apt-get install python3-dev python3-pip python3-venv python3-wheel -y
pip3 install wheel

    The last line is the most important. However, the first 3 lines may be necessary as prerequisites.
