无法为Python 3安装matplotlib

Question

I'm using JetBrains PyCharm Community Edition 2016.3.2 (64). My Project Interpreter is either Python 3.4 or 3.5. I'm trying to install the Matplotlib package but failed every time. I succeeded on installing Networkx though.

On this site https://networkx.github.io/documentation/networkx-1.10/tutorial/tutorial.html , in the "Drawing graphs" section, it says

Note that the drawing package in NetworkX is not yet compatible with Python versions 3.0 and above.

Someone please confirm this? Should I install Python 2.x to use this package?
I'm doing graph modelling, if anyone can suggest other packages or advise whatever I should use, I would really appreciate. But it needs to be related to Networkx.

Answer 1

Regarding Matplotlib, I don't see why the installation would fail.

try:

sudo apt-get install python3-matplotlib

Depending on your installation, you'll also have to install several libraries that matplotlib depends on:

sudo apt-get install python3.5-dev python3.5-tk tk-dev
sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev g++
sudo apt install python3-pip
pip3 install --user matplotlib

In addition, you will need one other package - nose. You can install it using the same syntax:

sudo pip3 install nose

Networkx installation is simple as:

sudo pip3 install networkx

Good luck!
