I am using python 3.5.0 where "pip intall python" command for installing "Matplotlib" is not working. Here is the error that i get:

C:\>pip install matplotlib
Traceback (most recent call last):

type pip install matplotlib into cmd

if that doesn't work, ensure ...\python\scripts\ folder is in your PATH

1. open your scripts folder and ensure there is a pip.exe in there

2. try this in CMD

   cd c:\users\blah\blah\Python\Scripts
   .\pip.exe install matplotlib

I tried all solutions that i got on stackoverflow but nothing seemed to be working for python 3.5.0, indeed the problem was resolved when i updated my python version to the latest release of python 3.9.7

CodePudding user response：

I think you need to upgrade pip first using following command in cmd as admin:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip then try this command: pip install matplotlib

CodePudding user response：

You should try: python -m pip install matplotlib in a cmd prompt (run as admin).
