pip list | grep "matplotlib*\|numpy*" just returns a new line

When I enter the pip list | grep "matplotlib*|numpy*" the console returns another line with flashing cursor, not the two library version numbers and names as displayed in the video. I am using workspaces, I have not yet tried on a local version. Any ideas?

Hi Liam, I found that someone else had asked this question a few years ago and got an answer: https://teamtreehouse.com/community/libraries-do-not-appear-in-console-as-they-do-in-video

Try that and see if it works. I found the answer by clicking on "Questions?" under the video. Personally I stopped using workspaces because there were too many problems. Good luck!

Thank you for your help. That does look like the same issue. I think this is now a duplicate thread.

Sounds like they're not installed. You can try pip install matplotlib numpy to install them and then try the command again to verify.

Thank you for getting back to me. I tried that command and recieved the following:

I then tried the command in the title again and still only recieving a new line. I am probably missing something simple :(
