Improvement to lectures: Install Plotly

Janek · March 14, 2017, 10:36am

Hi,

Following https://lectures.quantecon.org/jl/getting_started.html I encountered this error on the first plot,

using Plots
plot(sin, -2pi, pi, label="sine function")

Javascript error adding output!
ReferenceError: Plotly is not defined
See your browser Javascript console for more details.

Adding the Plotly package in Julia fixed this.

My versions,

The version of the notebook server is 4.3.1 and is running on:
Python 3.6.0 |Anaconda 4.3.1 (64-bit)| (default, Dec 23 2016, 11:57:41) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)]

Hi @Janek. I can’t seem to replicate this issue. Can you confirm if you had installed the Plots package?

Pkg.add("Plots")

FWIW this is my entire session setting up Jupyter. It includes the manual addition of Plotly which fixed the JavaScript error,

The error is back today!

This is the error,

This is what I did in the Julia console but the error persists

Could you try Pkg.build("Plots") and make sure that the latest java is installed?

Janek · March 16, 2017, 10:41am

It’s now working.

The first step did not help,

julia> Pkg.build("Plots")
INFO: Building Plots

shell> java -version
java version "1.8.0_111"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_111-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.111-b14, mixed mode)

I then closed and halted the kernel from the notebook, started Jupyter,

Thanks everyone for the help.
