At first, you are in MinGW shell, so you can't do C:\path\file, since bash interprets backslashes. You'd have to double them. Even if you'd do this, it would fail, since you have to specify the directory containing setup.py.

You firstly have to download EbookLib (version 0.15) and edit the following text in setup.py:

    long_description = open('README.md').read(),

to this one:

    long_description = open('README.md', encoding="utf-8").read(),

Then run this in the directory of EbookLib:

pip install .
