Modulenotfounderror No Module Named 'Matplotlib' ImportError: Fix

No module named matplotlib error comes because either matplotlib is not installed or its path is not set properly. We can reinstall it to fix it. Sometimes we need to uninstall the older version if that is causing this Modulenotfounderror. In this article, We will see many ways of installing it.

No module named matplotlib : Fix –

As we have already mentioned that we need to install/ reinstall matplotlib. Here we will mention a few different methods. Let’s see one by one.

python3 -m pip install matplotlib

Note –

1. If you have still an issue with the existing/older version of matplotlib. You may uninstall matplotlib. Here is the command for this.

pip uninstall matplotlib

It will remove the older version which is causing the issue of “no module named matplotlib”.

2. In some scenarios, We do not have pip install on the system. In that case, We need to install the pip manager first.

python -m pip install -U pip
python -m pip install -U matplotlib

This will install pip package. On top of it, It will install the matplotlib package for you.
