you might need to change your directory first and then try to install it. as in my case while I was trying to install pip on my computer it was not in the correct directory. you might need to find the path of directory and then change your directory and then try to install it again.

I worked it out by manually download package from below site https://github.com/nltk/nltk_data/tree/gh-pages/packages

unzip and save to a folder:

C:\Users\xxxxxx\AppData\Roaming\nltk_data\corpora\stopwords

Thank you all for your help.
