Running setup.py install for matplotlib … \ – Taking longer time than usual
Hello, if you have come across this post then definitely you are curious to know the facts:
- Why your terminal is taking too much time to execute the installation and why the terminal is not responding after showing this message “
Running setup.py install for matplotlib ... /
“? - Another question might arise. Should I wait or close the terminal and give it another try.

What to do after seeing this message for longer than usual “Running setup.py install for matplotlib … \”
After running this command pip3 install matplotlib
or pip install matplotlib
you may face this type of situation:
But do not worry at this stage if it’s taking longer than usual time.
What I did was:
- Closed the terminal just thinking that I will retry. (But still waiting time was longer)

pip3 install --upgrade pip
(for python3 or simply use pip instead of pip3 if you are using Python 2) andpip install --upgrade setuptools
.
I suggest you do not do these as these will not harm anything but no need to do these.
You are not getting any type of error, it’s just a delay for the system configuration.
Just wait for 5 minutes hardly. It will be installed fine.
After waiting for few times I got this result:
I know that this answer might be weird for some people. But I thought I should share this with people like me who faced the same issue.
