I am new to python and I am working on a graph problem and I want to draw this graph to have a better understanding of it. I learnt that matplotlib module is supposed to be imported for this but I dont know how to add it to the project.(I am a java developer and It is pretty much like adding jar to your classpath)

When I try doing

import matplotlib

I get the following error:

File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/networkx-1.7rc1-py2.7.egg/networkx/drawing/nx‌​_pylab.py", line 114, in draw
    raise ImportError("Matplotlib required for draw()")
ImportError: Matplotlib required for draw()
ImportError: No module named matplotlib.pyplot

Can anyone help me with that?Do I need to download anything to make it run as in the module?
