So, when you say your attempts end in failure, what do you mean? Does the code not compile? Or does the sensor not respond?
The first thing I'd check is wiring. Are you powering the device from 3.3V? Do you have the correct pins on the Pi for 3.3V and GND? Have you hooked up the correct i2c clock and data lines? Have you enabled i2c on the Pi? Have you confirmed that the sensor appears at the expected i2c address (it says address 0x00, which is uncommon, but whatever)?
If the device is correctly connected and powered up and detected on the bus then you can talk to it. Either follow the datasheet and write your own code to interact with the chip, or use a library. It's best to look at the code and understand what the library is trying to do so that if something doesn't work you know where to look.
