In "Installing SciencePlots manually", it seems to me that the command
cp styles/*/*.mplstyle ~/.matplotlib/stylelib/
is not sufficient because it doesn't copy the style-files that aren't in a directory and that are saved directy in "styles/". Which makes compilation fails because files are missing (science.mplstyle).
It seems to me that you have to add the command
cp styles/*/*.mplstyle ~/.matplotlib/stylelib/ && cp *.mplstyle ~/.matplotlib/stylelib/
