Problems with installing adafruit_blinka

[Fubbes]

Hi,

i need to install the adafruit_blinka libary on Raspberry PI 3. I followed the instructions on their website (https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpython-on-raspberrypi-linux/installing-circuitpython-on-raspberry-pi).

But when i want to install the libary i get the following error:

`sudo pip3 install adafruit-blinka

I hope someone can help me!

Try upgrading your setuptools first:
sudo pip3 install setuptools --upgrade
