UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 72: ordinal not in range(128)

[Reyeselda95]

Did you tried updating pip?
run sudo pip install -U pip and then try install again.
The Unicode error is because of the default configuration of Python2.7. You need to set your default decode configuration to UTF-8.

import sys
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')

You need to run this before trying to run it in order to set your encoding to UTF-8. If it don't work running it outside the program, try adding those lines into the setup.py file of the repository and install again with sudo python setup.py install
