I'm attempting to install Qiskit via pip and Anaconda on my machine. Here's my process
1.) Install Anaconda
2.) Open Anaconda 3 prompt
3.) Create a virtual environment using conda create -n <environment-name> python=3 command (I've created the environment on different occasions using -n and -m, it creates the environment just fine either way)
4.) Activate the environment
5.) Install Qiskit using pip install qiskit
When I run pip install qiskit, this mess populates the Anaconda prompt
(.venv) C:\Users\brenm>pip install qiskit

`setup.py clean` is not supported, use one of the following instead:
- `git clean -xdf` (cleans all files)
- `git clean -Xdf` (cleans all versioned files, doesn't touch

Add `--force` to your command to use it anyway if you must (unsupported).

The issue is that you're running on Python 3.9. The currently released versions of Qiskit did not have support for Python 3.9 and therefore didn't include precompiled binaries for 3.9 environments. So what is happening is that pip is trying to build Qiskit from source, as a fallback because compatible binaries were not found, which is failing because you're missing build dependencies. The next Qiskit release will include Python 3.9 support and publish binaries for Python 3.9 too. That being said you can fix this in the short term by changing
conda create -n <environment-name> python=3to a more specific python version like:conda create -n <environment-name> python=3.8to use a version of Python that the current release has compatible binaries for.
