I am trying to install 'matplotlib' on my mac using pip3 command however this is the message I am receiving. I am not sure how to fix it.

**Installing collected packages: matplotlib
    Running setup.py install for matplotlib ... error

  • I think it would be helpful if you were more specific. Are you trying to install through the command line? If so, what command are you running specifically? – alpablo20 Nov 04 '20 at 06:38

    You seem to have removed the useful parts; it says there would be 624 lines of output but you only provide the success part of the story. Anyway, the problem is that `matplotlib` is not yet compatible with Python 3.9. – tripleee Nov 04 '20 at 06:56
  • Hi everyone, thanks for the reply! i managed to install matplotlib :) – samiacodes Nov 06 '20 at 11:29
