Installation issue on local computer: plotly.js javascript libary not found -

[jlperla]

After a seamingly successs installation of Julia/etc. on my local windows machine , I am getting the following error when trying to use PlotlyJS

julia> using PlotlyJS

Any ideas? I have tried to do a Pkg.update(), etc. as well but no luck so far.

I'll look into it! This one shouldn't be hard to track down.

[jlperla]

Thanks. I will update from master and test tonight (it is on my home laptop)

[jlperla]

No luck. I first tried to do a Pkg.update() and then tried using PlotlyJS and had the same error

Then I tried Pkg.checkout("PlotlyJS") and then got a different error,

That's really surprising. Does this machine have internet access?

[jlperla]

Seems to. On it right now. The plotly backend is working

[jlperla]

That link for the plot.ly seems to work in a browser...

[sglyon]

Can you run Pkg.build("PlotlyJS")

[jlperla]

No obvious errors

julia> Pkg.build("PlotlyJS")

Then,

So not seeing that old error. And finally, plot(rand(3))
Right now it is taking a long time after popping up an Electron window... not sure what is going on.

Seems to have crashed the terminal... Restarted a REPL, did a Blink.AtomShell.install() for good measure, and tried again. Working great.

I wonder it it is worth doing a Blink.AtomShell.install() at the end of your build? Who knows if it helps, but I don't think it hurts!
