Let's say something like this is being returned when attempting to install a Python package.
Python.h: No such file or directory
This typically means the python-devel and/or python<version>-devel packages are not installed. On a Debian distribution (Ubuntu, Mint), the apt-get install command can be used to install the Python devel packages. On a Red Hat distribution (CentOS, Fedora, Red Hat), the dnf install or yum install commands can be used.
dnf install python-devel
dnf install python36-devel
