I am quite new to GIS and qGIS especially.
I would like to install cfarmers cartogram plugin. From what I understand, this has to be done manually - so I 've followed the instructions from RobinLoveLace (see link below).
Where has the cartogram plugin for QGIS gone?
When I try to click the icon for the Cartogram Creator, I get an error message (see below).
Any tips on how to get it to work?
An error has occured while executing Python code:

The plugin for Cartogram Creator for qGIS is downloaded from here: https://github.com/cfarmer/cartogram-plugin/tree/master

The Cartogram plugin is not compatible with QGIS 2.x since it is not being maintained anymore. The only way to get it work is to get a developer to update it.
