How can i use matplotlib on Anaconda? (Win 7 x64)
<p>I'm using Anaconda on Windows 7 64 bits but i'm unable to use any external package (numpy, matplotlib,scipy). At first when i tried to load this code:</p>

<pre><code>import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1,2,3,4])
plt.ylabel('some numbers')
plt.show()
</code></pre>

<p>I got a DLL error. Then, i downloaded and installed manually the 64 bits packages from here: <a href="http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/" rel="nofollow">http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/</a> but when i ran the code this message appeared: "Apparently the core died unexpectedly. Use 'Restart the core' to continue using this terminal."</p>

<p>I would appreciate if someone can help me with this problem because i have to do some projects and i'm wasting time. Thank you in advance.</p>

<p>You should try to run the installation without the mkl optimizations.</p>

<pre><code>conda remove mkl mkl-service
conda install nomkl numpy scipy scikit-learn numexpr
</code></pre>

<p>edit:</p>

<p>Your problem seems to be that you installed the packages from the website and not from the anaconda channels. Clean your current environment from all packages (or create a new one) and execute:</p>

<pre><code>conda install numpy matplotlib
</code></pre>

python numpy matplotlib 64bit anaconda
