I’m not sure if PyPlot works on 1.0 yet. It does not work for me on Linux right now.

Julia 1.0 was only released a few days ago and packages like PyPlot are still catching up. I’d recommend waiting a week, updating your packages, and then trying again.

can i install julia 0.9 ?

PyPlot is working fine for me on Julia 0.7 on Ubuntu Linux. :slight_smile:

5

I installed PyPlot in 1.0.
Install LaTeXStrings#master before PyPlot.

Did you also try GR? The only backend I got working so far is UnicodePlots. Pyplot also failed for me on Julia 1.0. I’m on Ubuntu 17.10.
