ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'matplotlib

Code Help Python
1

Today I’ve run into a problem where all my repls have stopped working as I import matplotlib. It automatically started updating the repl and migrating it to Nix, and then received the following message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 1, in <module>
    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'matplotlib'

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

This module should be in Python code help not general problem
Also, if you cannot find a module and got module error, try to type “pip install (the module name, in this case is matplotlib)”

I then tried pip install matplotlib and end up with another bunch of error messages that I do not understand:

My apologies again - I was going to make a new post and then delete the old one, but you beat me to it (I didn’t realize I could edit the category).
