Hi,
I'm starting my studies with Python 3 on Debian 9 that I just installed.
I have to install the matplotlib module, but I am in doubt what is the
difference of the commands:
pip3 install matplotlib
or
apt-get install python3-matplotlib
Is there any difference in the packages which are installed?
Thanks,
Markos
It's generally preferable to use your distribution's package manager
(apt-get) to install packages, as you will then receive updates as they
become available. However, Debian is notorious for having
stale/outdated packages in its repository. If you need the latest
version of matplotlib, use pip (you'll have to update it manually). If
you want old but stable, use apt-get.
