I ran into some problems I had in downloading the matplotlib using pip.
What happened
- At first I downloaded matplotlib through pip without problems.
- For some reason, after I downloaded matplotlib, when I tried running a simple line graph code, it wouldn’t display it.
- I tried searching up on google for the reasons why it wasn’t working, using the error messages I got as keywords.
- One of the advice told me to mess around with the PATH thing and I did, nothing happened.
- Another advice I had received told me to download Visual Studio 2019, which I did.
- When I tried running the code again, everything worked out fine.
- The next day later, after I had turned off my laptop and turned it back on, I ran into another problem where Python wasn’t being recognised on my laptop (almost like I didn’t have Python on it).
- I figured it had something to do with me messing around with the PATH thing since that was the only thing I messed with before downloading Visual Studio 2019 (I doubted downloading VS 2019 had anything to do with this).
- I tried rewriting the PATH thing with no luck.
- I read somewhere (Stack Overflow) that I should uninstall and reinstall Python, which I did (previous one I had was Python 3.8, the one I have now is Python 3.9).
- Everything was working fine, but when I had tried to run the line graph code I got this:
Traceback (most recent call last):

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'matplotlib'
12. So when I tried to redownload matplotlib I got the error message below (which is where I am currently stuck at).
