raise ImportError("libsixel not found.")

I had tried installing libsixel using "pip install libsixel-python" and using python setup.py install after downloading the library. It was installed successively however when trying to import any thing from the library the following message appears "Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\libsixel_python-0.5.1-py3.7.egg\libsixel_init_.py", line 367, in raise ImportError("libsixel not found.") ImportError: libsixel not found." Knowing that I am using windows and Anaconda based.

The module is merely a wrapper and you will have to install libsixel, the library. I recommend using the Windows Subsystem for Linux if you would want to proceed.
