What happens if you try running the command in a fresh environment?

[filips123]

You probably need to install APT package python3-dev. See this StackOverflow question for details.

I am assuming this is resolved with the last comment, but feel free to reopen if not!

[MdSamsuzzohaShayon]

you may need to install

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3-dev
sudo apt install libpython3.8-dev
sudo apt install python3-devel
sudo apt-get install libevent-dev
sudo apt update
