## Step-by-step Solution
Follow these steps to resolve the "Method or Operation is not Implemented" error:
1. **Locate the Error**: Identify the line of code where the error is occurring. The error message should provide the line number and file name.
2. **Check the Method or Operation**: Verify if the method or operation is defined within the code or if it's being imported from an external library or package. If it's defined within the code, ensure that it's implemented correctly.
3. **Verify Inheritance**: If the method or operation is part of an interface or an abstract class, ensure that the class implementing the interface or inheriting from the abstract class has provided a concrete implementation for the method.
4. **Inspect External Libraries**: If the method or operation comes from an external library or package, verify that the library is properly installed and imported. Additionally, check the library's documentation to ensure it supports the method or operation being called.
5. **Update the Library**: If the error persists, try updating the library or package to the latest version. This can resolve compatibility issues and ensure that the method or operation is implemented correctly.
