Now, mpyqtgraph can be used whenever the appropriate virtual environment has been activated e.g., by trying the minimal example:

python examples/minimal.py

Info

If you receive an error message similar to the following:

Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found."

Then, you might need to install additional dependencies. On a Debian-based system, this is accomplished with:

sudo apt install -y libxcb-cursor-dev
