this error happend.

what should I do?

Answer 1

Read the instructions again. Nowhere does it say to use pip. You need to install MacPorts and then follow the instructions that are on that page which say to install using sudo port install cmake.

Answer 2

To close the loop, few days ago we released per-platform generic cmake python wheels, the error discussed above should now be fixed.
