Getting the error message when using matplotlib:

Answer 1

So, for those of you getting this same issue with lightgbm, I found in the documentation that you can

1. pip uninstall lightgbm
2. pip install lightgbm
3. Run the following in anaconda environmnet (if you're running Conda)

ln -sf `ls -d "$(brew --cellar libomp)"/*/lib`/* $CONDA_PREFIX/lib

These three things worked for me.
