Try to install Microsoft C++ Build Tools should fix that issue

no solution yet? (I have microsoft C++ build tools installed)

Matplotlib isn't really an important part of the app, and I really should have considered lighter alternatives... For the meantime, if you're unable to get Matplotlib to work, just globally find the word Matplotlib in the project folder on your text-editor and remove the code part that's executed by Matplotlib (only in the dashboard pane I think)
