Question

I am trying to create a pyinstaller executable for a pyqt application which uses YOLO model to send detections, and ros1 for the robot simulation. ROS 1 uses the system installed matplotlib installed in the /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages path.

When I install ultralytics, it installs maptlotlib to the user python directory at .local/lib/python3.8/site-packages.

When i build the pyinstaller executable, it finds matplotlib in two paths and thus does not install the matplotlib libraries properly in the executable. The app then fails during run with " cannot import name 'rcParams' ifrom matplotlib,axes(in python_path.) " when it runs

from ultralytics import YOLO

Is it possible to install ultalytics by making it use the system installed matplotlib? In this case then the user installation of matplotlib can be removed and the pyinstaller can add the system dependencies of maplotlib.
