matplotlib can't be used from python3

Question

I have two python compilers on my Ubuntu 14.04 VM. I have installed

matplotlib

as

pip install matplotlib

But the matplotlib cannot be used from python3.It can be used from python2.7

If I use

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

inside my script

test.py

and run it as

python3 test.py

I get the error

ImportError: No module named 'matplotlib'

How can this be fixed.

Answer 1

Use pip3 to install it:

sudo apt-get install python3-pip
sudo pip3 install matplotlib
