What should I do?

I found this: https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/3029/ it say's that executing sudo apt-get pkg-config or, on osx, brew install pkg-config should fix everything.

but executing the brew install pkgconfig I got this:

Warning: pkg-config-0.28 already installed

You need to use sudo when you use pip on a Mac, otherwise pip can't access the folders it needs to with normal privileges. So, put sudo before your command:

sudo pip install matplotlib

You'll also need to type in your administrator password, but then it'll install.
