I was trying to install QISKit via the pip method as mentioned on their webpage.
However, after many trials, this method doesn't seem to work and I am getting the following error on the terminal.
Compiling QISKit C++ Simulator
creating out
WARNING: Seems like the cpp simulator can't be built, Qiskit will install anyway, but won't have this simulator support.

where the lines ending with (*) are in red in the terminal.
How can I solve this?
You can try to install cmake.
pip install cmake
I also had an issue with the latest QISKit. Kindly check the issue at the github page QIS Issue 292.
