[Tutor] Opening EOS-5 HDF file - help!

[Lennartson, Elizabeth M]

I am trying to open a HDF file in python. I downloaded python 2.7.8 through miniconda2. I also downloaded basemap-1.0.7, matplotlib-1.5.0, and numpy-1.11.0. I am trying to do this example: http://hdfeos.org/software/pyhdf.php. I can execute "import os" but when I try to execute "import matplotlib as mpl," I get the following error:


File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

ImportError: No module named matplotlib


I am new to programming, so I am not sure what the issue is. Thanks for your help!
