thanks for the answers  
i typed eaxctly what this page says :  
[https://juliaplots.github.io/](https://juliaplots.github.io/)  
here is the code i tryed

Pkg.add(“Plots”)  
Pkg.add(“PlotlyJS”)  
using Plots  
plotlyjs(size = (300,300), legend = false)

plot(rand(10,5))  
plot(x = 1:10, y = rand(10))

first execution, it was very long, with lots of the to be installed  
second excution, shorter ; the only thing Terminal said was :  
INFO: Nothing to be done  
INFO: Nothing to be done

my questions are :

- i guess that the “Pkg.add” instructions have to be written only once, and that for the next executions i can forget them ; am i right ?
- no graph appeared on my screen…
