I want to resample it to 5-minutes OHCLV, so I did this code:

import pandas as pd

df= pd.read_csv("C:\Users\Araujo's PC\Desktop\python_scripts\CSV\cex_btc.csv",
                names=['timestamps','open','high','low','close','volume'])

df.set_index('timestamps',inplace=True)

ohlc_dict = {
    'open':'first',
    'high':'max',
    'low':'min',
    'close':'last',
    'volume':'sum'
    }

df.resample('5T', how=ohlc_dict)

print df

It appears me this error:

TypeError: Only valid with DatetimeIndex, TimedeltaIndex or PeriodIndex, but got an instance of 'Index'

Can someone help me on this?
