Conda install triggers known Matplotlib error #205
Comments
@rebeccabilbro you tried this on a linux machine, right? |
Yes, Red Hat Linux 4.4.7 virtual machine |
From what I can tell (though I'd only bet a donut on this) -- this is a Linux only issue, so one thing we can say is that we prefer installation with |
I've added a note in both the README and the new Quickstart (along with installation instructions for Anaconda) -- so I think that solves this issue. Will close when I push. |

And of course any recommendations would be most welcome!! |

Unfortunately, this means that we (yellowbrick developers) can't do much to fix the issue until Anaconda and Matplotlib development synchronizes.
Until then, add a note to quick start docs to communicate to users the two fixes:
