Hi,

I havejust installed JuliaPro 0.6 (Windows 7), and I wish to use the Plots package. So I type

```julia
Pkg.add("Plots")
INFO: 
Cloning cache of PlotThemes from https://github.com/JuliaPlots/PlotThemes.jl.git
INFO: Cloning cache of PlotUtils from https://github.com/JuliaPlots/PlotUtils.jl.git

INFO: Precompiling module RecipesBase.
INFO: Precompiling module PlotUtils.
INFO: Precompiling module PlotThemes.
WARNING: 
No working GUI backend found for matplotlib

```

Note the warning. I do have Ananconda installed, in

```julia
C:\Users\myudername\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda3

```

which I thought should contain Pyplot. How to I point the Plots package to Anaconda and Pyplot? What did I miss?

: )

using Plots
x = [i for i in 1:10]
y = rand(10)
plot(x,y)
