Using the windrose package yields Affine2dbase error

Question

I am trying a simple python windrose example from here Windrose Notebook Example using Anaconda2. But I get error messages ‘TypeError: unbound method __init__() must be called with Affine2DBase instance as first argument (got Affine2D instance instead)‘ when running the simple code below

from windrose import WindroseAxes
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.cm as cm
import numpy as np

ws = np.random.random(500) * 6
wd = np.random.random(500) * 360
ax = WindroseAxes.from_ax()

I am struggling to understand the info on affine2dbase I’ve found online, but thought it might be an issue with my matplotlib installations? Here are the versions I am using

    matplotlib                2.2.3            py27h263d877_0
    matplotlib-base           2.2.5            py27h6595424_1    conda-forge
    windrose                  1.6.7                      py_1    conda-forge
    ipython                   5.8.0                    py27_0

and here is the conda install information for windrose install as administrator:

(base) C:WINDOWSsystem32>conda install -c conda-forge windrose

I would appreciate input on how to fix windrose so I can run the basic example or how I can mitigate the affine2d error. Thanks

As suggested by @fyberoptik the solution was to use pip install windrose in conda prompt. Whilst it doesn’t look like anything changes in anaconda prompt, windrose now plots for the test data and for my own data.

(base) C:UsersStudent>pip install windrose

using the standard example:

ax = WindroseAxes.from_ax()
ax.bar(wd, ws)
