I’m trying to use Plots.jl with PlotlyJS for simple plotting, for example:

```julia
using Plots
plotlyjs()
x = range(0,stop=1,length=100)
y = x.^2
Plots.plot(x,y, legend=false, linecolor="red")

```

This fails in the ORCA precompilation stage:

```julia
ERROR: LoadError: ORCA not installed properly. Please call `Pkg.build("ORCA")`

```

So I tried the above command and it fails:

```julia
julia> Pkg.build("ORCA")
   Building ORCA → `C:\Users\omrile\.julia\packages\ORCA\jdK40\deps\build.log`

I’m using Julia Pro 1.5.0-1 on Windows 10.

Thanks!

Due to the problems with ORCA.jl, we have decided to go another direction. The savefig functionality offered by ORCA.jl has been implemented by new routines built in to PlotlyBase.jl (and thus PlotlyJS.jl) itself.

ORCA.jl is now deprecated and should not be used going forward.

Thank you
