| This installs matplotlib for development (i.e., builds everything and places the | ||
| symbolic links back to the source code). |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
As noted in faq/installing_faq.rst this command has to be called everytime that the c files change
|
There is now also some information how to setup on windows in the main directory. |
|
This PR is a bit old, but it would be a great addition to the documentation. @eyurtsev are you still interested in moving forward with this PR? |
|
I've been out of the loop with matplotlib for a while, so if anyone would like to commandeer that'd be great -- alternatively, I can abandon -- whichever is most convenient. :) |

This should probably be changed to pip install -v -e .

We already have this here doc/faq/installing_faq.rst#source-install-from-git |

Hi @eyurtsev |
|
I created a new PR with these changes + the fixes. I'm thus closing this one. |
Added instructions on installing matplotlib for dev for issue (#3959)
NOTE: I renamed one of the URLs. git_development -> setting_up_for_development
let me know if this is a problem.
