Why I get error matplotlib.pyplot not found even after matplotlib install?
 
Hi! I have installed Linux 12.04 in my laptop. I want to use python on Linux. I have successfully installed python3. How to install all related modules for plotting and animation? As I have installed matplotlib but code is not working and saying matplotlib.pyplot not found. Please help me how could I get all related module which are compatible with my system too. Thanks

Hi sabaz,

Welcome to LQ!

Try installing python-matplotlib. You don't want to install all the python packages. That's why they are split up into different packages.

Since OP is using python3, the install command may be

Code:
sudo apt-get install python3-matplotlib
Also, using a command like

Code:
python3 -m pip install module
helps ensure you are installing to the right install of python
