The message normally means either the architecture or the python version
is not available in a package uploaded to pypi. It doesn't sound like
the version is the problem at least - you're trying 3.8 and matplotlib
now has 3.8 packages.

pypi access, meanwhile, may have some problems if you're having to go
through a proxy for your network connection - it doesn't use the one set
up for your web browser.

Just a couple of things to think about...

The advice you've already received to get a unified environment through
Anaconda is a good one.  It was created largely for that reason -
getting numpy, scipy, matplotlib, etc. all installed can be a daunting
task if you're new to the Python package world.
