Matplotlib on OSMC

Hi all,

I’m trying to run a python3 script which makes use of matplotlib on my raspberry pi2 running OSMC.
Matplotlib python package wasn’t installed, hence I ran the following command:
pip3 install matplotlib
which returned the following error:

pip3 install matplotlib

Anyone knows what’s going on here ?
Thanks ahead for your help

Hi,

Not sure whats the issue is there, but you may have success installing from the Debian repository:

sudo apt-get install python3-matplotlib

Thanks Tom.

Many thanks!
This indeed ‘fixed’ my issues
