How to fix install error "Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pyplot"?

  • 772

I am trying to install pyplot as follows:

x@y:~$ sudo -H pip3 install pyplot
Collecting pyplot
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pyplot (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for pyplot

What am I doing wrong?
What conditions doesn't my platform meet?

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (64bit).
To provide some further context here are some of my package versions:

    pyplot is part of a matplotlib.
    In order to install pyplot you should install matplotlib

    matplotlib install instructions

    • Using package manager:

      sudo apt-get install python3-matplotlib

    • Install Anaconda or Canopy which are both excellent choices that “just work” out of the box.
