How to Install Matplotlib in Python and Run in Visual Studio Code

In today’s video we will create a simple graph by using the Matplotlib library for Python. We will install Matplotlib and run a simple program that builds a graph in VS Code (Visual Studio Code). The Matplotlib Python library is commonly used for data science, computer science, and mathematics courses. If you get the error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'matplotlib', then you must install the Matplotlib library.

Steps to Install:
1. Make sure you have at least Python version 3.4 and above installed. To check what Python version you have installed, open your terminal and type the command python3 --version.
3. Paste the command into the terminal. If this command doesn’t work change to: python3 -m pip install -U matplotlib

How can I add data I have within the same file to my graph? I've already installed Matplotlib but I'm not sure how to put the data I have in a textfile in my graph using visual studio code.
