Spell it as two words, rather than three:

%matplotlib inline

Okay, this works, but why? In my testing it was Unix that accepted the 3 and Windows that accepted it as two. If this is true across all cases, what is it about Win. vs Linix/Unix with jupyter that causes this error?

With Ubuntu 18.04, Python 3.8 and iPython 7.19, it actually needs two words, and not three.

Thanks! I am just doing a Udacity tutorial and in the tutorial, they use the "wrong" version (% matplotlib inline).

What's the difference between %matplotlib and %matplotlib inline?

%matplotlib displays in a separate window, while inline keeps it within your Jupyter notebook.
