Python Matplotlib Install Issue On Windows 7 For Freetype, Png Packages

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. C:\Python27\Scripts>

Solution 1:

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

Solution 2:

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.

Solution 3:

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.whl64-bit 2.7:matplotlib-1.5.2-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl

Solution 4:

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

Solution 5:

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
