I am trying to install rdkit using pip3. But it doesn't work. 

sudo pip3 install rdkit
Error:  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement rdkit (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for rdkit

There is only apparently one option with conda

conda install -c rdkit rdkit

How can I install it with pip? Thanks

rdkit conda pip package

As of a week or two ago, you can install rdkit using pip

pip install rdkit-pypi
python -c "from rdkit import Chem; print(Chem.MolToMolBlock(Chem.MolFromSmiles('C1CCC1')))"

You cannot install rdkit with pip at the moment, either build from source or install using anaconda as recommended. Making rdkit installable with pip is tricky, see github issue
