As long as you have installed the pip well, you can install the matplotlib and all the packages it needs theoritically. However, the connection is unstable in China. Unfortunately, with my unyielding trying, I get it done. Honestly, my way was simply piping again and again.
First, I installed and then found my pip need to be upgraded. I’ve tried over ten times. You really need to find a good day to operate this.
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
Then, install the packages one by one.
pip install numpy
##Tried over five times
pip install scipy
##Tried over three times
pip install python-dateutil
##It's not dateutil or datautil
##It'll get you package "six" as well
pip install pyparsing
pip install matplotlib
##It'll get you package "kiwisolver", "cycler"
Finally, test your matplotlib with .py blow:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1,2,3])
plt.ylabel('some numbers')
plt.show()
Run the .py and you get the figure if you install the matpkotlib successfully.
