Matplotlib not installing even though all required packages are installed

I am a Mac user trying to get this specific version of matplotlib installed, and I keep getting this error. I have made sure I have the required packages, but am not sure how to ensure they are in the right location. At the moment I cannot make plots work for a variety of codes I am working on. Error below:

pip3 install matplotlib==3.0.3
