you can either do it through conda by
conda install -c https://conda.anaconda.org/anaconda basemap
or if in ubuntu through
sudo apt-get install python-mpltoolkits.basemap

Python3: sudo apt install python3-mpltoolkits.basemap

For ref, upstream issue: matplotlib/basemap#251
In short: looks like the package is too big to be on PyPI.
It can still be installed, e.g., with pip install [-e] <URI-of-release-tarball>.
