I tried to install matplotlib by following this video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-llHYUMH9Dg
I followed everything EXACTLY. It was working until I tried
C:\Python34\Scripts>pip install matplotlib
I then received this error message
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\KIEFER~1\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-kai2npum\matplotlib
I have no idea what to do. I just finished Codeacademy and I am wanting to move onto learning matplotlib.
I am very grateful for any help anyone can give, even if someone can point me in the right direction. I'm not asking to be spoon fed.
This is the full error message.

You are using pip version 7.1.2, however version 8.1.2 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.

I have tried uninstalling and installing again the pip, but it did not work. I do not know what to do. :(
If you can comment in spanish would help me a lot, my English is not so good, thanks in advance.
I installed matplotlib with the .whl file and it worked for me. I got it from this website http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#matplotlib. Download the right .whl package ( i.e If you have Python 3.5.1 64 bit download matplotlib-2.0.0b3-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl) Then go to File Explorer and go to the folder where you downloaded the .whl file. On file explorer click File -> open command prompt -> open as adminstrator. Then type this
pip install (fileName.whl)
If it says that pip is not found then go to the place where you downloaded python in file explorer. Go to the scripts folder and open it there. You can copy and paste the .whl file in the scripts folder. Then type the pip install command again. After that's done you can check if it works by going to IDLE and try importing it
import matplotlib
if it runs that means you installed it correctly. That is the only way I know to install matplotlib so sorry if it doesn't work.
Using Python 2.7 on Windows 7. Here is the command I am using to install and error message. Wondering if anyone have met with similar issues before? Thanks.

As you can see it png and freetype modules are missing. You need to install them separately.
Try doing the following :
> pip install freetype-py
> pip install pypng
> pip install matplotlib
I solved it by taking version 1.5.1
pip install matplotlib==1.5.1
it seems that version 1.5.2 installer is broken.
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
Get matplotlib from above location. Choose correct package based on python(2.x/3.x) and bit(32/64) version.
32-bit 2.7: matplotlib-1.5.2-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl
64-bit 2.7: matplotlib-1.5.2-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl
If you face any issues in the middle, please refer to below link:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/38618044/5334188
I had the exact same issue.
Seems that my pip was v7 which is old.
upgraded to v9 with the 'upgrade' button.
then tried to install matplotlib again and was successful this time.
maybe this helps
I came across the same problem with you, and here is my solution
It has the problem with python 3.6 integrated with the newest pip.
so I installed python 3.5.2 with pip, but do not upgrade pip.
And you can get matplotlib installed in this way.
Hope I could provide a possible solution
I solved the same problem in Wİndows 10 as folowing:
1- Download the following files for win32 or win64 python3.7:
matplotlib-2.2.2-cp27-cp37m-win32.whl
or
matplotlib-2.2.2-cp27-cp37m-win_amd64.whl
from the https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
2- By cmd console run the downloaded file under python:
.\Downloads> python -m pip install matplotlib-2.2.2-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl
you can try the matplolib
I had this problem today with Python 3.8.0 and the installation was successfully with matplotlib==3.2.0rc1 after I installed freetype-py.
Installing the specific matplotlib version 2.2.5 worked for me on Windows 10.
The commmand to install a specific version via pip:
pip install matplotlib==2.2.5
A simple
sudo pip install matplotlib --upgrade
fails with the following log:

Meanwhile,
brew install freetype
returns:
Warning: freetype-2.6_1 already installed
So it looks like freetype is installed on my system. So what is going on? It's disappointing that such a critical Python package as matplotlib isn't installing.
Any help would be appreciated.
Since you're using Enthought, the recommended way to get stuff like matplotlib installed is to install Canopy Express, which is a free add-on to the Enthought distribution that also gives you access to ~100 packages that can be easily installed into Enthought.
What you're attempting to do with brew and such do not work for Enthought out of the box and would require you to set correct environment variables and build settings, because the system at large is not knowledgeable about brew's existence.
Its possible you need to install pkg-config. Try:
brew install pkg-config
before you install matplotlib.
See here for more discussion on this. It sounds like matplotlib gets confused about the path to freetype, but pkg-config overrides this and sets the right path. There's also the matplotlib readme here which suggests you need pkg-config.
I'm using matplotlib, OSX 10.11, Python 3.6 and matplotlib 1.5.1
make virtualenv (in a path with no spaces in it)
I already had python 3 installed and I found that giving the symlink didn’t install it, so I followed the symlink to the python3.6 file and used that. With the virtualenv -p command.
I installed the xquartz thing that is not in osx by default apparently and matplotlib still wouldn’t install. That is, until I found out that the matplotlib install thing looks in /include/ft2buid.h not in /include/freetype2/ft2build.h, so I setup a symlink in library to the /freetype2/ft2build.h file and then ran pip install matplotlib and it worked
Python isn’t installed as a framework…
I tried making this file called framework python that reroutes to python or something but that didn’t work
In the end I found a note that said go to folder:
~/.matplotlib (literally paste that in the go to folder dialogue verbatim)
then make a plain text file called matplotlibrc (no file extension) that just has the text:
backend: TkAgg
and that is what I call voodoo, now the rain demo for matplotlib works
this specific question might only need that one symlink bit, I gave myself the extra complexity of the virtualenv yet I can't remember why.

I have already tried to install the python-dev package and to upgrade pip:
sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo apt-get install python-dev
I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 and Python 2.7.10 Anaconda 2.3.0 (64-bit)
read the log:
* The following required packages can not be built:
* freetype
so, have a try about this command:
sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev libxft-dev
I am running Fedora Linux/RHEL on Oracle VirtualBox on my Windows 7 machine and trying to install matplotlib-1.3.1 on VM.
I have numpy-1.6.1, scipy-0.13.0 as well as python-2.6.6.
Both Numpy and Scipy are built from source i.e. downloaded the tar.gz file, extracted and then ran build and install from the extracted folders. I have also checked the installed versions from python shell.
However, whenever I am trying to build matplotlib-1.3.1 from source, it is giving me the below screen.
Below is the screen when building matplotlib from source:
~]$ python setup.py build

No source RPM found for python-matplotlib-0.99.1.2-1.el6.x86_64
No uninstalled build requires
Just to note that I have successfully built from source nose-1.3.0, ipython-1.1.0, sympy-0.7.3, pandas-0.11.0 as dependencies before installing matplotlib.
The above problem is solved. It's because the required freetype package could not be found.
Interested readers may go to the link
Freetype-2.5.0 Install
and follow the steps to get freetype installed. Please note that after extracting the bz2 file, have to go into the folder to run the ./configure and make. For installing the doc, need to login as root user and follow the command as mentioned. Hope this helps.
NOTE: The above error that I have been getting is resolved but there is a new error that of ftheader.h not found is raised. I have opened a separate thread for that. Here is the link
Install error: ftheader.h: No such file or directory
