C:\Users\Rakesh>Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1'

i tried installing using pip install matplotlib. it downloaded the module at the end it got this message. is there anyway to directly download and extract? im getting this error message at the end. what should i do?

Answer 1

Quickest way I solve any issue with pip installs on windows is use these precompiled packages.
