Install Matplotlib on Apple Silicon

Question

Im very new to python and we needed Matplotlib for a class! I wanted to install it using pip but it only gives me errors, and then tries one older version and so on! I installed the latest version of python (3.9) with homebrew.

So my question is, how do I install Matplotlib onto my M1 mac?

Im planing to use it in VS Code.

Thanks in advance for your help.

@BPDESILVA Of course, that was the first thing i tried! But as i said, it just came with a ton of error messages (as mentioned above) — Elliot Czigány, Feb 15 '21 at 08:24
