Getting started
===============

Installation quick-start
------------------------

.. grid:: 1 1 2 2

    .. grid-item::

        Install using `pip <https://pypi.org/project/matplotlib>`__:

        .. code-block:: bash

            pip install matplotlib

    .. grid-item::

        Install using `conda <https://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/>`__:

        .. code-block:: bash

            conda install -c conda-forge matplotlib

Further details are available in the :doc:`Installation Guide </users/installing/index>`.


Draw a first plot
-----------------

Here is a minimal example plot:

.. plot::
   :include-source:
   :align: center

   import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
   import numpy as np

   x = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, 200)
   y = np.sin(x)

   fig, ax = plt.subplots()
   ax.plot(x, y)
   plt.show()

If a plot does not show up please check :ref:`troubleshooting-faq`.

Where to go next
----------------

- Check out :doc:`Plot types </plot_types/index>` to get an overview of the
  types of plots you can create with Matplotlib.
- Learn Matplotlib from the ground up in the :ref:`Quick-start guide
  <quick_start>`.
