I get the same message if I try to install plotly, any idea on how to solve this?

The names are case-sensitive. Try using:

Hi Luchino:

You may want to check out:

If you accompany the commands you are running with the full error message, someone may have a solution in the Plotly case.

Thanks a lot!
