Hello there

I am having trouble intstalling matplotlib on my Ubuntu 14.04-powered linux system.
It says two of the required dependencies have to be installed, freetype and png

Please tell me the code lines that can help me install these two dependencies

thanks in advance

p.s.: I have attached .png file of screenshot showing the error I get while installing matplotlib
intsall matplotlib ERROR.png

I think that question is better suited for a matplotlib help forum

Untested, but this might do the trick

  196  sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev libxft-dev
  197  sudo pip install matplotlib

Hello,
I think you can just do
sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib
or use python3-matplotlib if you're working with python3.

Regards
Afif
