**You might need to add additional packages (via `apt`)**. The most
notable reason why is because Matplotlib needs some extra things to
run. It looks like the list depends on what you've already installed
on your system -- I've only checked Debian. Use the following link for
more information about installing stuff more Matplotlib:

## Use RTR-Docs for more Information

Because this project is one of many within a bigger project. All the
documentation has been moved to a centralised repository. All
