Openpyxl Pip Install Error: Command Errored Out

I continue to receive the following error when trying to install openpyxl:

pip install openpyxl
Collecting openpyxl
  Using cached openpyxl-3.0.3.tar.gz (172 kB)
    ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:

Based on other posts, I have already tried the following commands:

python3 -m ensurepip --upgrade
pip install --upgrade setuptools
pip install -U pip

With each of them returning:

Requirement already up-to-date: setuptools in /home/bigdata/scripts/lib/python3.8/site-packages (45.1.0)

Am I missing something? We just migrated our account over to an A2 Hosting VPS server and I am unfamiliar with most of the setup. Any help is much appreciated.

I was able to fix this issue by reinstalling python, following the clue from phd that I may have a broken install.
