Installing Cookiecutter

Oh no! I have an old version of Cookiecutter

To upgrade, run:

pip install -U cookiecutter

ImportError: Fix: pip install wheel

If you try to python setup.py publish your project without the Wheel package installed, you'll get an error like:

python setup.py publish
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 18, in <module>
    raise ImportError("Fix: pip install wheel")
ImportError: Fix: pip install wheel

In order to correct this problem, do as the error says from the command-line:

pip install wheel
