[AWIPS #SKE-739638]: Unable to pip install

Hi there,

We're sorry you're experiencing issues trying to install CAVE.  This is an 
error we
haven't actually seen before.  Would you mind telling us what version of 
Windows 
you're running?  Are you running on a physical machine?  Or is it a Virtual 
Machine?
Did you have any versions of python installed before attempting the CAVE 
installation
instructions?  I know you said you followed the steps, were you careful to use 
the 
links we post and only use the specific versions we state?  We also have a video
on the website as well which I think you've come across?

Hopefully we can help you figure something out.
