Slicer’s pip does not yet support packages that need compilation. To get access to all Python packages, you have to build Slicer with your Python distribution. See some information here: [https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Labs/SlicerCondaIntegration](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Labs/SlicerCondaIntegration)
