    I try to install install some library with the pip command. But when I try to install it I get an error like #include <ffi.h> . How can I solve this issue?

    Install libffi-dev or whatever the package is called on your OS.

    Hello
    There may be different causes for this issue but installing libffi development library will solve your problem.
    sudo apt install libffi-dev for Ubuntu.
