Error while installing Scrapy for python3

I used pip to install Scrapy for Python3 in Ubuntu

sudo pip3 install scrapy

While installing I get this error

As mentioned you were missing the dev dependencies

For python 2

sudo apt install -y python-dev
sudo pip install scrapy

For python 3

sudo apt install -y python3-dev
sudo pip3 install scrapy
