Installation of Matplotlib

If you have Python and PIP already installed on a system, then installation of Matplotlib is very easy.

Install it using this command:

python

C:\Users\Your Name>pip install matplotlib

If this command fails, then use a python distribution that already has Matplotlib installed, like Anaconda, Spyder etc.

Once Matplotlib is installed, import it in your applications by adding the import module statement:

python

import matplotlib

Now Matplotlib is imported and ready to use:

The version string is stored under __version__ attribute.

python

import matplotlibprint(matplotlib.__version__)

Note: Note: two underscore characters are used in __version__.
