import matplotlib.pyplot as plt doesn't work
Answered
I know there are some posts about this but nothing helped me.
I was able to install Matplotlib through preferences -> install packages in PyCharm
If I type only
import matplotlib
everything is okay and I don't get an error. When .pyplot comes into play I get error messages, whereas IDLE has no problems running this
Example:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]
y=[0.1,0.2,0.5,0.6,0.8,0.8,0.9,1.3]
plt.plot(x,y)
plt.show()
and the Error messages:

How do I solve this problem? Can you please help me step by step.
Thanks

Unfortunately it's known issue https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-28836, the fix will be available in the next PyCharm update.
As a temporary workaround, you could revert to matplotlib 2.1.2.
