When following the docs for installing Makie on Julia 1.0 [http://makie.juliaplots.org/stable/basic-tutorials.html#Getting-Makie-on-Julia-0.7sup/sup-1](http://makie.juliaplots.org/stable/basic-tutorials.html#Getting-Makie-on-Julia-0.7sup/sup-1) I get this error:

```

try to use [GitHub - MakieOrg/Makie.jl: Interactive data visualizations and plotting in Julia](https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Makie.jl) documentation:

```julia
julia>]
pkg> add Makie
pkg> test Makie

```

> If you plan to use `Makie#master` , you likely also need to check out `AbstractPlotting#master` and `GLMakie#master`

According to somewhere using the normal installation does not work on 1.0 because it is not finished with porting to 1.0

Installation works, but test/using it yields
