Failed to install package 'sklearn'

After a whole day struggle, here I finally give up and ask this question. I know this may not be totally appropriate to ask this question but I'm not able to install sklearn on PyCharm and even can't install it using pip.

Config: Windows 10, Pycharm community edition, Python 3.6

Here is a screen of the error:
