/var/lib/material-modelling/.config/matplotlib is not a writable directory Matplotlib created a temporary cache directory at /tmp/matplotlib-y3cy5fvc because there was an issue with the default path (/var/lib/material-modelling/.config/matplotlib); 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. /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ase/io/cif.py:408: UserWarning: crystal system 'cubic' is not interpreted for space group Spacegroup(221, setting=1).
