Hello, I want to run some Python code in Termux, I want to install matplotlib in Termux. When I install matplotlib, I have permission denied errors. I am using the Termux version 0.118.0 on Galaxy S21 phone with Android 13 installed. I also grant storage permission to Termux. The execution log is as following, I do not know what I need to do next. When I install matplotlib on my another ubuntu testing machine, there is no problem. `~ $ pkg install matplotlib × Preparing metadata (pyproject.toml) did not run successfully. note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip. × Encountered error while generating package metadata. note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip. |

Some more information I found. If I run the same Termux command on an Android 10 device, matplotlib can be installed successfully. Is there anything I need to do on Android 13 device? Is it a known issue for Termux on Android 13? Thanks. I have run pkg install build-essential on both devices before installing module. |

You need the latest
These permission denials were because Pip attempted to set extended attributes on files which is not allowed on Android. Issue should be fixed with newer package versions. Edit: see answers under #3444 (comment) |

Your "answer" does not work unfortunately, due to the issue mentioned below regarding ninja. |

Unlikely this is due to numpy version. The failed ninja module (dependency) has nothing to do with numpy. |

This got broken very recently, I had Matplotlib working on Termux one month ago. |

There was the same problem, the video from YouTube helped), by entering all the commands, Matplotlib and Pandas were installed (but I don't really understand this anymore). The bottom line is that it helped, I hope it will help you too |

These instructions are a bit half-*ssed unfortunately as a few crucial steps are missing from a fresh Termux installation. I will try to fix this when I have time. |

It is easy to fix it you just need to allow file access permissions to termux by going to mobile settings then apps then find termux and look for permissions click on it and you will see permissions those aren't allowed |

File access permissions do not have effect on what happens inside Termux. They only affect users access to Installation of packages or Python modules not require access to shared storage as nothing is going to be written on it. |

Try Installing ninja and patchelf independently for supported versions |
