Pip install dash-auth error

Hi,

I’m having some trouble trying to pip install dash-auth, I’ve tried using pip3 as well as specifying the package version but neither work.

I’m using a linux subsystem and python 3.6.9, the error I’m seeing is below. I’m fairly new to dash and was just trying to following along with the guide here. Any help would be much appreciated.
