Question: How to import matplotlib in Maple's Python interpreter?

I would like to be able to use python's matplotlib from Maple. I am doing the following currently

with(Python)
Start('home' = "/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.9", 'path' = "/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.9/site-packages")
ImportModule("matplotlib as mpl")

and the error I get back is

Error, (in Python:-ImportModule) ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'matplotlib'
['Traceback (most recent call last):\n', '  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>\n', "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'matplotlib'\n"]

The string I passed into path is the directory where matplotlib seems to be located as far as I can tell. I looked this up in my IDE Spyder, but using the command print(matplotlib__file__).

UPDATE: but actually if I open a new worksheet and execute 

with(Python)
Start('home' = "/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.9", 'path' = "/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.9/site-packages")

The error is that 

Error, (in Python:-Start) unable to start Python: could not create process, mpython

So Maple isn't finding Python apparently.

I tried for 'home' also "/opt/anaconda3/bin", did not work.
