title: How can i get python and matplotlib on my Ubuntu 14.04?
body: <p>Okay so I tried to install matplotlib and python earlier from the command line. Turns out i probably already had python installed but it was not make(ing) plots. Then that didn't work so i tried to, from the software center install matplotlib. So my software center says it is installed. However, when i am in python it still can not find matplotlib. Also when i am not in python and try to run commands like </p>
  
  <pre><code>python setup.py clean
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It says python cannot find setup.py</p>
  
  <p>This has been going on for hours and i am a beginner linux user and it is horrible</p>
