FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'seaborn-ticks'

Hi,

I installed on wsl2 using pip install git+https://github.com/popgenmethods/smcpp

But when I tried to run ./smc++ I get the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/sam/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/matplotlib/style/core.py", line 137, in use
    style = _rc_params_in_file(style)
  File "/home/sam/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/matplotlib/__init__.py", line 866, in _rc_params_in_file
    with _open_file_or_url(fname) as fd:
  File "/usr/lib/python3.10/contextlib.py", line 135, in __enter__
    return next(self.gen)
  File "/home/sam/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/matplotlib/__init__.py", line 843, in _open_file_or_url
    with open(fname, encoding='utf-8') as f:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'seaborn-ticks'

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

    raise OSError(
OSError: 'seaborn-ticks' is not a valid package style, path of style file, URL of style file, or library style name (library styles are listed in `style.available`)

Any idea what the issue is?

Thanks.

What version of matplotlib do you have installed?

I had this issue with matplotlib 3.8.1. Going to 3.7.3 fixed it. The newer matplotlib version looks like they are using "seaborn-v0_8-ticks".
