Getting the following error when running `python run.py --plot`:
```
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "run.py", line 151, in
runModel(GYM_NAME, plot=plot)
File "run.py", line 141, in runModel

This is because `matplotlib` is unreliable in many environments (yours!).

You need to figure how to get it installed on your OS in python properly.

Ah, getting closer to the issue:
```
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "/home/neo/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/pyplot.py", line 115, in
_backend_mod, new_figure_manager, draw_if_interactive, _show = pylab_setup()

return _import_module(self.mod)
File "/home/neo/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/six.py", line 82, in _import_module
__import__ (name)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 42, in
raise ImportError, str(msg) + ', please install the python-tk package'
ImportError: No module named _tkinter, please install the python-tk package
```
Run:
```
sudo apt-get install python-tk
```
And now it is working.
Thank you very much for the clue!

Hey 😊
I have an issue if the plot as well.
I could import everything in the files, so also this part
```auto
try:
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('TKAgg')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.gridspec as gridspec
from matplotlib.dates import date2num
except ImportError:
pass
```
by using as second line the following:
```auto
matplotlib.use('TKAgg',warn=False, force=True)
```
I know this is not really a specific HTM Problem. But I searched on the Internet for a looooooong time, without finding a solution. So sorry to annoy here with that, but I hope that maybe someone had the same problem and can help me with that.
The thing is, that I got a figure in a new window, but it does not show anything. Just at the very end, I can see some results (just the very last days) .
I would really appreciate any help 🤗🙂
thanks to everyone in advance. 🥳🥳🥳
