Installation problem

[aloboa]

After apparentely successful installation with:

conda install -c conda-forge scipy cython pykdtree netcdf4
conda install -c conda-forge cartopy
pip install ncvue

I get:

(base) alobo@pop-os:~$ ncvue
Traceback (most recent call last):

    from ncvue.__main__ import main

    import matplotlib.docstring as docstring
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'matplotlib.docstring'

I tried already after:

alobo@pop-os:~$ conda install matplotlib

Dear @aloboa

From a first view this looks like matplotlib is not well installed. You could try:

conda uninstall matplotlib
conda install matplotlib

or perhaps:

conda uninstall matplotlib
conda update --all
conda install matplotlib

Note that ncvue is also on conda-forge:

conda install -c conda-forge ncvue

It is always a good idea to work in virtual environments, here, for example, ncenv:

conda install -n ncenv pip
conda activate ncenv

With a bit of luck, ncvue installs then just like this :-)

conda install -c conda-forge ncvue
