Installing Scrapy on ubuntu 14.04 fails

I'm getting error installing Scrapy on my ubuntu box. I'm using pip to install Scrapy. I'm aware that it needs setuptools to be installed. I got that installed using the script provided in setuptools website.

Any Idea where the process goes wrong? I've got gcc and g++ installed already.

sudo apt install python3-scrapy

I have tried this ..and it worked for me. (You should have the ssh installed)

Right after installing Fedora 23 that's what I did (may works on Ubuntu):

[root@x ~]# pip install scrapy
[root@x ~]# dnf install python-cffi
[root@x ~]# dnf install openssl-devel
[root@x ~]# dnf install gcc
[root@x ~]# dnf install redhat-rpm-config
[root@x ~]# dnf install libxml
[root@x ~]# dnf install libxml2-devel
[root@x ~]# dnf install libxml-devel
[root@x ~]# dnf install glib2-devel gnet2-devel
[root@x ~]# dnf install libxslt-devel

I figured this out on ubuntu 14.04 by (A) actually following the scrapy docs for installing on ubuntu, then (B) an error that a lot of others were getting, by following a S/O solution Error while starting new scrapy project

(A) http://doc.scrapy.org/en/1.0/topics/ubuntu.html#topics-ubuntu

then

(B) 

sudo pip install pyasn1 --upgrade

From the error fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory it looks like python development headers are not installed. Try this command and then try to install again.

sudo apt-get install python-dev

For installing libevent library apply this command,

sudo apt-get install libevent-dev
