Just pip install ipympl.

It works now after running the following bash commands.

conda install -y nodejs
pip install --upgrade jupyterlab
jupyter labextension install @jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager
jupyter labextension install jupyter-matplotlib
jupyter nbextension enable --py widgetsnbextension

Edit: Must restart jupyter server after running these commands

Thanks, “restart” was the critical instruction for me. It wasn’t enough the quit and start again jupyterlab in the terminal, only after restarting the computer the plots finally worked
