Running pygal on Jupyter and Windows 10 Python 3.9 issue

When I ran the a simple script:

import pygal
import os
import webbrowser

bar_chart = pygal.Bar()
bar_chart.title = "Pet populatioon by Animal per 100 households"
bar_chart.add("dogs", 41)

The output of the pygal object (chart) was that it could not find any of the libcairo.dll, libcairo2.dll and other dlls which are not on my mind right now.

Took some time to figure the reason. But it was all related to GTK. I installed GTK for windows 10 then I had to add to PATH the mysys64 directory to be exact the following C:\msys64\mingw64\bin where libcairo dlls where located.
