I need to use matplotlib for plotting some parametric curves for college. I tried installing it on my windows machine but the following error shows up everytime I execute

python -m pip install -U matplotlib

enter image description here

    The error message literally says that NumPy may not support Python 3.10 yet. – Selcuk Oct 12 '21 at 06:00
  • @Selcuk thanks, I am new to all this kinda stuff, never used python before, I was just following the steps on the webpage – Koustubh Jain Oct 12 '21 at 06:04
  • python 3.10 is too new. Not all packages, including `numpy` have been updated to work with it. – hpaulj Oct 12 '21 at 10:36
  • I recommend using the [Anaconda Distribution](https://www.anaconda.com/products/individual), it's likely to make your life much easier. [Package List](https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/packages/py3.8_win-64/) – Trenton McKinney Oct 12 '21 at 18:48

For the windows machine, I could not find any precompiled wheel for your python version 3.10. But found unofficial wheels here, https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpy

Depending on your architecture version, you can download either one.

  • numpy‑1.21.2+mkl‑cp310‑cp310‑win_amd64.whl or

  • numpy‑1.21.2+mkl‑cp310‑cp310‑win32.whl

Then download the suitable one and go to the download directory and run

pip install numpy‑1.21.2+mkl‑cp310‑cp310‑win_amd64.whl

if you have x64 architecture or run

pip install numpy‑1.21.2+mkl‑cp310‑cp310‑win32.whl

If you have x86 architecture. This process worked for me. Give it a try.
