Hi all,  
I tried running Nanoplot version 1.28.2 as well as version 1.36.2 on my local galaxy server, but got an error with both versions.I already ran into some trouble when installing Nanoplot ([Ephemeris won't install tools: 'Timeout during install of tool\_name, extending wait to 1h' - #2 by cbass](https://help.galaxyproject.org/t/ephemeris-wont-install-tools-timeout-during-install-of-tool-name-extending-wait-to-1h/8807/2)) but the installation was eventually successfull. I tried both versions with my own input files as well as files from a galaxy training tutorial, which worked fine on the [usegalaxy.eu](http://usegalaxy.eu) server.  
The error I am running into now is as follows:

> Matplotlib created a temporary config/cache directory at /srv/galaxy/var/tmp/matplotlib-p9chkxz0 because the default path (/srv/galaxy/.config/matplotlib) is not a writable directory; it is highly recommended to set the MPLCONFIGDIR environment variable to a writable directory, in particular to speed up the import of Matplotlib and to better support multiprocessing.

Note: I am using Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish) as the OS in case this might be helpfull.
