I'm having trouble getting matplotlib up and running. I've downloaded it, but when I try to run the test command python -c 'import matplotlib; print matplotlib.__version__, matplotlib.__file__' I get the following errors

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/__init__.py", line 135, in <module>
    from matplotlib.rcsetup import (defaultParams,
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/rcsetup.py", line 19, in <module>
    from matplotlib.colors import is_color_like
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/colors.py", line 52, in <module>
    import numpy as np
ImportError: No module named numpy

I know I have numpy installed, as I've used numpy and can work with it. import numpy in the python shell works just fine.

Maybe this is a PATH issue, but I'm not really sure.

Thanks

    You probably have numpy installed into python 2.6 Commented Jan 25, 2011 at 4:44
  • Sure, but how would you recommend I procede? Uninstall 2.6 and numpy, then reinstall numpy on 2.7? Install numpy on 2.6 and 2.7 (how?) Somehow tell matlabplot to look at the correct place? Commented Jan 25, 2011 at 4:47
  • @tshauk: I would recommend that you try that. If that still doesn't work, then try using sys.path.append to manually append the numpy path to the PATH Commented Jan 25, 2011 at 5:51
  • Voted up because I was reading numpy as "numb-pee" and I was like, WTF is numb-pee?! Commented Jun 15, 2012 at 18:11
  • pip3 install --user numpy matplotlib Commented Jan 24, 2022 at 15:24
