How do I install matplotlib on pyCharm
I had to run the command "pip install updates" and after that I could install the matplotlib package. It turns out that my pip wasn't of the latest version.
I'm new to python and I'm using PyCharm as my IDE. I've been able to successfully install other packages like numpy, pandas etc. However, when I'm installing matplotlib, I keep getting the error:
src/checkdep_freetype2.c(5): fatal error C1189: #error:  "FreeType version 2.3 or higher is required. You may set the MPLLOCALFREETYPE environment variable to 1 to let Matplotlib download it."
I installed it through the command prompt and it installed correctly but (I believe) PyCharm creates it's own environment and does not recognize packages installed through command prompt even though I tried to install them in the same path as other packages in PyCharm. Can you please help?
