Installation¶
User install¶
To install simply run:
pip install mpl_interactions
The above only has Matplotlib as a dependency. If you plan on using mpl_interactions
in a Jupyter Notebook or JupyterLab then you should
install with pip install mpl_interactions[jupyter]
this will install ipympl and ipywidgets for you.
If you use JupyterLab it is significantly easier get working for JupyterLab 3+
Setup for Jupyterlab 3+¶
Installation of widgets was made significantly easier for JupyterLab 3+. Simply make sure you have a new version of JupyterLab:
pip install --upgrade jupyterlab mpl-interactions[jupyter]
Setup for JupyterLab <= 2¶
If you plan on using mpl_interactions in notebooks with JupyterLab version 2.x or lower
then you need to follow the below steps to ensure you have a fully working installation of ipympl.
In particular you need to make sure nodejs > 10
is available and that you have installed jupyterlab-manager
.
pip install --upgrade ipympl
conda install -c conda-forge nodejs=13
jupyter labextension install @jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager jupyter-matplotlib
Development installation¶
First create your own fork of https://github.com/ianhi/mpl-interactions.

pip install -e ".[dev, doc, test]"
