Failed to install PYNQ

Hello, everyone

I am new to use PYNQ and I follow the instruction from GitHub - Xilinx/PYNQ: Python Productivity for ZYNQ
When I used the command, sudo pip3 install --upgrade --upgrade-strategy only-if-needed pynq, I encountered an error.

ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:

Could someone help me?
Thanks a lot!

What board are you using?
The command assumes you have an existing image running. If you are new, you would be better just using one of the pre-compiled images and making a new SD card image.
