It often happens that Atom tries to reinstall matplotlib using Conda. However, this is already installed and I don’t understand why it gets stuck on this. Below I copy the exact code and message that I get.
Note: this message is a little bit random. If for example I need to restart my Atom session, then often this message comes by. What I do to fix this is to close Atom and open it again, and often times the message goes away.
Could anyone provide some advice on how to fix this issue ? It is not critical, but certainly affects the user experience using Julia and Atom.
