Error installing pandas_profiling in spyder

Question

Can't install pandas_profiling in spyder

Please if you can then tell how to install pandas profiling in spyder

Also using only Spyder, Spyder IDE

Tried these:

pip install pandas-profiling

pip install pandas_profiling==2.5.0

pip install https://github.com/ydataai/pandas-profiling/archive/master.zip

Tried running setup.py from pandas_profiling_master

This comes:

See above for output.

I was trying to install ydata-profiling which is the newest version of pandas-profiling and I didn't have any previous version of htmlmin installed. I was getting the same error you have.

I had to install django-htmlmin first, but it returned an error saying 0.11.0 version was too old for ydata-profiling, but it seemed it could call itself already, so I could install htmlmin (from git) and it worked.

After that installing ydata-profiling was as simple as always with pip install ydata-profiling
