Hello @muhammadhanief ,
I think that matplotlib you installed is for a different version of Python that is not accessible by QGIS.
You can try to follow this guide https://semiautomaticclassificationmanual.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#i-have-installation-issues-on-mac-os-how-can-i-install-scp-on-mac-os
Thanks for your answer. Based on the solution you provided, do I have to restart the installation from beginning? including reinstalling python? Do you think this failure is because I also installed anaconda on mac? because im also install anaconda
You are welcome.
Yes, you should restart the installation.
I don't think Anaconda caused the issue, because it should be an independent installation.

I've tried it on macOS Monterey but I get the following error (edit in fact I was able to install numpy using python3 -m pip install numpy… but then I ger dozens of other errors ):

Thanks, yes I did. But I think the problem could be in uninstalling QGIS, Python3 and GDAL:
For QGIS, I followed the Readme file (which uninstalled GDAL as well) and for Pyhton 3, this guide: https://www.macupdate.com/how-to/uninstall-python
However there is maybe some old file remaining ? Even though my macOS install should be clean (at least before I first installed QGIS 3.22) as I did a clean install when macOS Monterey went out.
Hi there,
This is how I solved it.
I am using macOS Catalina 10.15.3 and QGIS 3.22. When installing the latest version of SCP via Github I got the error prompted on the title of this issue. I had three version of python
- The default installed on the system 2.7
- One that I installed for my own development 3.7 in Library/Frameworks
- Python 3.8 as shipped by QGIS 3.22 in Applications/QGIS-LTR.../Contents/MacOs/...
QGIS 3.22 on its python 3.8 installation seem to have all requirements that SCP need: Matplotlib, Scipy, future and GDAL. However I believe that SCP was looking at my default underlying Python3 installation, the 3.7 version which obviously lacked all these packages, as I did not need them at all.
What I had to do is to get rid of QGIS 3.22 and my Python 3.7 version . Caution: if you have dependencies that requires 3.7, you'll break any software that needs Python 3.7. I then reinstalled QGIS, Python and GDAL separately via https://www.kyngchaos.com/software/qgis/ - not happy with this to be honest. See that the latest version available is QGIS 3.18.
Then I installed Maplotlib, Scipy and future using:
python3 -m pip install Matplotlib scipy future
Please see that python3 is a symbolic link to python3.9, that is to say, my just freshly installed Python interpreter because I deleted the older Python 3 versions.
Lastly I then reran the plugin installation and all worked smoothly.
Final thoughts: this is a chicken and egg situation. Whose fault is this? QGIS 3.22 installer seems to be relying on Python being shipped and installed locally. SCP seems to be looking for the default Python3 installation on the system. There seems to be a break in the communication here, hence the issues.
Hello @d2gex , thank you for reporting this.

SCP seems to be looking for the default Python3 installation on the system. There seems to be a break in the communication here, hence the issues.
The error Check Python Matplotlib installation for the Semi-Automatic Classification Plugin happens if the import of Matplotlib fails at the very beginning of plugin loading, and it relies on the Python environment provided by QGIS.
So I don't think that SCP is looking for the default Python 3 installation.
However, I'll look into it.
Thanks. Yeah, that is the weird thing. I supposed that SCP was looking at the environment pointed out by QGIS. When I browsed the site-packages within the QGIS's python environment I could see all the requirements that SCP needed. Albeit when I tried to install separately the dependencies, Python told me that such requirements were already satisfied - I did it via /Applications/QGIS.../python -m pip install x y x.
In addition when I ran "Test dependencies" within SCP, I got a few errors actually pointing out the the right QGIS environment. However a modal dialog came up that I could not get rid of unless I closed QGIS. Unfortunately I don't recall the exact message of that dialog.
I could though see matplotlib installed. The errors were pointing to matplotlib and gdal subprocesses but then in the logging details there was something else about PIL.
Thank you @d2gex and @mat1696 for your feedback.

The issues running "Test dependencies" could be also related to the multiprocessing environment.
However, the installation error related to Matplotlib dependency have a different cause.
The strange thing is that these issues are not replicable on Linux OS or Windows OS, so it must be something specific of Mac OS.
Hi, I met the same problem. My OS is MacOS 11.6.7 Big Sur. I used to use QGIS 3.18, SCP works well on that. I just download QGIS 3.22 LTR today, and SCP shows Error. Check Python Matplotlib installation for the Semi-Automatic Classification Plugin. My python version is 3.8 and I'm pretty sure I have download matplotlib. Also, I have tried method from [https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/366848/scp-plugin-for-qgis-3-10-on-mac] but it doesn't work.
Could you help me with it?

Hello, unfortunately it seems that recent versions of QGIS has issues with the installation of SCP. You should try the previous version of QGIS
I'm closing this because of the new version 8 of SCP.
Please reopen it if it is still relevant in the new version.
Thank you!
