Can't call functions from Makie

New to Julia

I am trying to follow along with the Basic Tutorial on the Makie webpage. I have Makie, GLMakie and CairoMakie installed. I tried running the following code:

using CairoMakie
F = Figure(backgroundcolor = :tomato)

Which generates these error messages:

ERROR: MethodError: no method matching return_type(::Makie.var"#30#32"{Set{Makie.Mouse.Button}}, ::Tuple{DataType})

Closest candidates are:
  return_type(::Any, ::DataType)
   @ Core compiler\typeinfer.jl:1109
  return_type(::Any, ::DataType, ::UInt64)
   @ Core compiler\typeinfer.jl:1115

Stacktrace:

   @ REPL[20]:1

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: I am using windows 10 and Julia version 1.9.2. I originally installed the CairoMakie package on jupyter. Afterwards I installed it using the julia console.

This works for me on Linux. Can you provide more information about your environment?

@bitVil Can you tell me how you had installed CairoMakie and GLMakie?

julia> using Pkg
julia> Pkg.add(“GLMakie”)

… or you can enter the package manager (which I prefer, and I feel is more reliable)

julia> ] <— yes, it’s just a right bracket… then use backspace to leave the package manager when done

(@v1.9) pkg> add CairoMakie

      .... a lot of stuff will happen here... downloading, installing compiling
      .... a lot of stuff will happen here... downloading, installing compiling

I am using windows 10 and julia version 1.9.2. I tried running the code in the julia console and jupyter, but got the same error message for both.

Can you show what’s in your Julia environment, the output of ] st?
