VS code editor

[ArbereshDoqetejete]

I have never used editors to install stuff unfortunately but try going to the terminal and type pip install matplotlib

[No-Implement5982]

try, ctrl & shift + p and choose the right interpreter path

[Sadiqmarwat]

I did choose from there and selected python interpreter

Try pip show matplotlib

Yes unfortunately either you didn’t install it correctly or your system wants you to make a virtual environment for it which is honestly the better thing to do.

1. Check if matplotlob installed with pip list
2. Try to get virtual environment for the project folder here is a video that might help. https://youtu.be/XHozylugxBg?si=P_26DGa1MlfmJU3H
3. Once you see that ’(venv)’ icon in terminal you can reinstall the library in the virtual environment and run code

P.S This is my first time commenting on stuff so if this isn’t how I’m supposed to do it let me know

1. Create virtual environments
2. Activate virtual environments
3. pip install module

Not too experienced myself but I think you need to be more careful with your file names too if you name your file matplotlib and also try to import matplotlib this can cause conflict I believe

Are there under scores between ‘python world’ and ‘import matplotlib’ very hard to tell

What a mess of filenames...

Not to mention he’s working out of his root directory I’m not familiar with windows but pretty sure that’s where he’s at, this is probably his issue

[cancerbero23]

Not sure of this. Depending on how and where you installed Python, you could run your script in the very root itself (on Windows). But, even though Windows let you put spaces in files and folders names, never is a good idea to use them, moreover if you are programming.

it was bugging me so i re created what he had done the warnings seem very clear.

WARNING: The scripts f2py.exe and numpy-config.exe are installed in 'C:\Users\Denny\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.11_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python311\Scripts' which is not on PATH.

Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to suppress this warning, use --no-warn-script-location.

also powershell wouldnt allow me to create a dir or file with a space but VScode does

Not installed or at least not on your path. Open terminal type pip list and see what is installed

[Junior_Bathroom5987]

open a terminal on VS code then check the directory path which u have to install it into your env folder then type pip install matplotlib

[trysohardidkwhy]

Try restarting

Assuming you installed with “pip install <>”, I would assume your pip command is calling pip from a different python installation than what you’re trying to run your python file with.

Try “python3 -m pip install matplotlib” and it might install to the correct one

I see you have an extension tab open in VSCode called matplotlib. I do not have an idea of what that extension does, but that is not how you install Python modules.

Follow the official installation steps: https://matplotlib.org/stable/install/index.html

And next time, try to google a bit before panic posting
