I am using the below setup:

centos 7

python 2.7

numpy 1.14.3

The error information:

Cannot uninstall 'matplotlib'.

It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.

I do not know why I can not use pip to install matplotlib. Somebody knows why? Do not tell me to use apt-get or yum.

I want to uninstall matplotlib cause its version is too low and I can not upgrade it successfully. So I want to uninstall it, then reinstall. Now I find another way: delete the correspoding file then reinstall the package you need. The version of the package is the latest.

Try sudo pip install --upgrade matplotlib without deleting the old version beforehand, as described here
