pip install libxml2 failed

I'm trying to install libxml2 since I came to know this is dependency for lxml. Facing issues like:

Could not find dependencies

Any idea how to install libxml2?

My python version is 3.5.2.

Official documentation has the installation steps for Linux, Mac OS and Windows.

To install lxml on Ubuntu, you first will need to install the binary dependencies:

sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt-dev python-dev

Then you will be able to install lxml using pip:

pip install lxml

You cannot install libxml or libxslt using pip as they are not Python packages.
