I just met the same problem when I want to install wordcloud to my python3.6 at win10, and after searching on the google I found a method which successfully solved my question: click the url “http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#wordcloud” to download the wheel file which you want to install, and then use “pip install XXXXX” to install it.
