Running setup.py install for cffi did not run successfully.

[Prosper Lekia]

I am trying to deploy my app to google cloud. Here's the error I'm having

 Running setup.py install for cffi: started
  Running setup.py install for cffi: finished with status 'error'
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error

  ? Running setup.py install for cffi did not run successfully.
  ? exit code: 1
  ??> [47 lines of output]

          No working compiler found, or bogus compiler options passed to
          the compiler from Python's standard "distutils" module.  See
          the error messages above.  Likely, the problem is not related
          to CFFI but generic to the setup.py of any Python package that
          tries to compile C code.  (Hints: on OS/X 10.8, for errors about
          -mno-fused-madd see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22313407/
          Otherwise, see https://wiki.python.org/moin/CompLangPython or
          the IRC channel #python on irc.libera.chat.)

          Trying to continue anyway.  If you are trying to install CFFI from
          a build done in a different context, you can ignore this warning.

^ There's the problem. You need to install gcc.

It looks like you are installing it, but only after you need it. The pip
command above is requiring it.
