Can't install ggplot

Question

I'm an experienced R user and i'm trying Python for the first time and i'm having a bad time trying to install packages. I guess there's an issue installing dependency {scipy} but i'm not sure how to solve it.

I'm on Windows 10 64bits and with VScode.

(env) PS C:\Users\alber\Documents\Python\Titanic> pip install ggplot

And a lot more that SO won't let me paste.

Any ideas?

Numpy needs to be installed with scipy. Not exactly the answer but a workaround way to install all of the scientific tools for python would be installing Anaconda which comes prepackaged with the tools you'll need. You'll love playing around with Jupyter Notebook if you haven't already
