Description

image

This section seems like a dead-end for normal users.

Maybe a more comprehensible message could instruct the user on what to do to install that dependency.

Research direction

Inspect the History / Plot entry point and how the application handles a missing matplotlib dependency. Reproduce the dead-end state without matplotlib and identify the existing dependency message. Done means the user receives a comprehensible instruction for installing matplotlib instead of an unhelpful section.
