is actually based on matplotlib
, so it contains similar functionality but makes more visually appealing plots with minimal coding.

, we will need to install it using either PyCharm or manually through the command line:
pip install seaborn
Once it is installed we can call the module into our Jupyter Notebook using the following command:
import seaborn as sb

sb.distplot(VacationHours, kde = False, rug=True)
