Pip installing not working

Question

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib import style
style.use('ggplot')

gives me an error message:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 2, in ImportError: No module named 'matplotlib'

So I go to cmd and typed pip install matplotlib but I get 'Requirement already satisfied'.

I am not really sure what to do....

what version of python are you using to run your code? I men how are you running your code. — lmiguelvargasf

Just checking, are you sure you installed it for the correct version of Python? — Juan T

quite simply you are mixing wrong python versions or wrong virtualenvs — e4c5

Based on the information you have provided. Go to PyCharm Preferences. Then go to Project:your-project-name, inside this to Project Interpreter.

and make sure this interpreter has installed matplotlib. Othersiwe, click on the + sign and add the library you need.

Sorry and thank you. I solved the problem. I was doing 'pip install matplotlib' in a different directory. For some reason, I had two different directories 'Scripts', one of which contains pip and the other doesnt.

@JunJang, it's okay. Just consider this solution as an alternative. You probably are using virtual environments (not sure).
