I have tried installing matplotlib a number of ways and I was successful using - download through github, changing directory to folder, and running sudo python setup.py install. But, pyplot wasn't working so I uninstalled and I am trying to use pip and have been running into a ton of errors.
Megans-MacBook-Pro:~ MeganRCunninghan$ sudo pip install matplotlib

>>import matplot lib
it works but when I want matplotlib.pyplot I get an error:
