Failed building wheel for matplotlib

[hofong428]

While I'm trying to install pdpbox, it seems a conflict happened to my matplotlib:
note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
ERROR: Failed building wheel for matplotlib
Running setup.py clean for matplotlib
Failed to build matplotlib
Installing collected packages: matplotlib, sklearn, pdpbox
Attempting uninstall: matplotlib
Found existing installation: matplotlib 3.5.1
Uninstalling matplotlib-3.5.1:
Successfully uninstalled matplotlib-3.5.1
Running setup.py install for matplotlib ... error
error: subprocess-exited-with-error

so why it tried to uninstall the version of matplotlib I've installed? How could I fix the problem?

PDPBox only support the old version of matplotlib. First, you can use matplotlib==3.1.1 by using conda install matplotlib=3.1.1 instead. Do not use pip install matplotlib=3.1.1 since some of the dependencies can't be solve by PyPi. Then download the git

git clone https://github.com/SauceCat/PDPbox.git
cd PDPbox
python setup.py install

Manage to install it in my python 3.8 version. Have not tried with 3.9 yet

I have the same problem. It looks like matplotlib isn't on conda for Mac M1 below 3.4.2 ....

Is it ever going to be updated to work with matplotlib>=3.7?

The latest version, v0.3.0, has been released. We recommend updating to this version and checking if it resolves the issue you're facing. Your feedback is appreciated. Thank you for your patience and support.
