Failed to install NRCLex

Question

Used the following code to install NRCLex:

! pip install wheel
! pip install NRCLex

But result in:

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

Literally no idea what is going on right here. Googled for reasons but seems no one has ever encountered this problem before.
