Dependency on Matplotlib 2.1.0 in Linux

[puneethmishra]

Hi ,

I'm trying to install on a linux docker. It seems there is a dependency on the older version of matplotlib and it does not install fine. The latest version of matplotlib 3.0.3 is installing fine. Can we please upgade the dependency or else please suggest me a workaround.

Thanks for reporting this!

One of the packages we depend on is currently pinning a lower version of Matplotlib. As a workaround, if you try reinstalling again (pip install -U interpret), it might work. We're working with the package owner to update the dependency.

I think it's the LIME package. Tried it out , but still same issue.

Looks like they're trying to fix it in this issue: marcotcr/lime#297

Their repo has the fixed code, it just needs to be pushed to PyPi.

Hi @puneethmishra,

LIME just released an update on PyPi (v0.1.1.34), which should fix the dependency problem. Can you see if this resolved your installation issue?

Thanks a ton its working fine now.
