pip install -e .

fails with

Obtaining file:///home/colin/projects/arviz

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
      File "/home/colin/projects/arviz/setup.py", line 7, in <module>
        from matplotlib import get_configdir
    ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'matplotlib'
    
    ----------------------------------------
