I typed

pip install openbabel

in the terminal, and it gave me this error: Failed to build openbabel ERROR: Could not build wheels for openbabel, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

What could be wrong here?

  1. I tried updating pip and setuptools
  2. I tried installing the wheel using
pip install openbabel-wheel

As it says in the documentation, you would need to download the binary first

First you need to download and install the main Open Babel executable and library as described in Install a binary package.

Documentation: https://open-babel.readthedocs.io/en/latest/UseTheLibrary/PythonInstall.html

Binary: https://open-babel.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Installation/install.html#install-binaries
