[Manager](https://pypi.org/project/Manager/) is Python 2-only, yet you’re trying to install it on Python 3, hence the error. The project appears to be unmaintained, so Python 3 support is most likely not forthcoming. Either use Python 2 instead or search for a different package with similar functionality that supports Python 3.
