You might find a solution [here](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/error-installing-pyplot-the-python-package-mpl-toolkits-mplot3d-could-not-be-found-by-pyimport/6372/13). Maybe the very last one from stevengj.

EDIT: As @ChrisRackauckas mentioned, at least for beginners, PyPlot is probably not the best package for plotting in Julia as one can easily run into installation problems.
