After installing WeasyPrint, I am getting this error: "Error in Django: OSError: dlopen() failed to load a library: cairo / cairo-2"
Here are all the details:

OSError: dlopen() failed to load a library: cairo / cairo-2
I have found a solution to a similar problem here on Stackoverflow: Getting "OSError: dlopen() failed to load a library: cairo / cairo-2" on Windows. As suggested there, I downloaded one of the packages, called GTK+ Bundle 3.10.4, from http://win32builder.gnome.org/. I followed the instructions mentioned there. But still, the error appears.
I also found another potential solution here: dlopen() failed to load a library: cairo / cairo-2
I have installed Choco in my PC and ran the following commands in the Command Prompt.
choco install libcairo2
Now, I get these errors:
Chocolatey v0.10.8
Installing the following packages:
libcairo2
By installing you accept licenses for the packages.
libcairo2 not installed. The package was not found with the source(s) listed.
If you specified a particular version and are receiving this message, it is possible that the package name exists but the version does not.
Version: ""
Source(s): "https://chocolatey.org/api/v2/"
I am completely stuck. Please, help me. I am doing a Django course on building an online shop. I can't proceed unless I fix the issue. So, I am badly in need of help.
