HI,

I tried to follow https://github.com/vadimcn/vscode-lldb/wiki/Data-visualization , but I stumbled on missing library error, even though I installed with pip required libraries, it still says that it can't find numpy.

How to make it work?

Riiight... Since CodeLLDB now brings along its own Python, it may happen to be of a different version (3.8), than your system Python (probably still 3.6 or 3.7). Each version maintains its own set of installed packages: you've installed numpy for python3.6, but not for python3.8, thus the error.

I haven't yet figured out how to deal with this properly, but meanwhile try this:

1. Start a debugging session - any debuggee will do, as long as it stops on a breakpoint.

2. In the debug console, enter "script import pip; pip.main(['install', 'matplotlib'])"
