Incomplete installation reported when importing package for the first time

I installed the Plots package, but I get the following error when trying to compile it. I am using version 1.5.3 on Ubuntu. While installing this package, there was an interruption in between. What could I do to solve this problem ?

You may try adding it again. I too interrupted(ctrl - c) it while installing the package. After that I again added it
] add Plots

and now it works.

That didn’t work, as I show below

I found it on this link
I have to rebuild the Plots package :
Pkg.build(“Plots”)
