Hi all,</p>
<p dir="auto">I’m somewhat stymied trying to understand how to install matplotlib in a development environment using conda.</p>
<p dir="auto">I have MacOS, and I have brew gcc etc. I know how to set up a env in conda.</p>
<p dir="auto">I eventually want to be able to run the tests, so that I can stop uploading things with PEP8 errors etc. </p>
<p dir="auto">Sorry if this is too vague. I can start over again and send specific errors if that is easier, but I would bet someone has a step-by-step.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks, Jody</p>
