How have you installed the reporting extension and have you set up the underlying required libraries which python cannot pull in? These are documented as additional install steps.

There somethings pip just cannot pull in and install for you. These are requirements that may use other technologies, languages or packaging solutions. In this case you need to install cairo and pandoc your self locally for ctk-reporting to work as it cant install these for you.

Alternatively and my preferred approach is to just run this through docker as the docker image has all the required binaries and packages installed for you. check out the using a docker image section.
