I’m trying to use Plots.jl with PlotlyJS to produce simple plots, e.g.

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

```

This throws the following error due to ORCA:

```julia
Info: Precompiling ORCA [47be7bcc-f1a6-5447-8b36-7eeeff7534fd]
ERROR: LoadError: ORCA not installed properly. Please call `Pkg.build("ORCA")`

```

So I tried the above build command and it also fails:

```julia
julia> Pkg.build("ORCA")

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

Thanks in advance!

Could it be your JavaScript environment?

What should I check regarding JavaScript?

Well I was thinking about this error message:  
Error: Cannot find module ‘./internal/streams/stream’  
This looks like it’s coming from JavaScript.

Yes, I tried googling this error and found a bunch of Node.js stuff. I’m not sure how to fix this as I have absolutely no experience with Java or Javascript, I just installed a fresh Julia Pro.

I would file an issue with ORCA: They would know how they access node.js. Sorry I couldn’t help more.

You might try with just vanilla Julia

Thanks, this actually worked.  
I guess there’s some conflict in Julia Pro.

most likely all the testing is against vanilla julia so I suspected a conflict that wasn’t caught.

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

Is the new behavior what we get with a registered version of PlotlyJS? I’ve got  
PlotlyJS v0.13.1  
which still seems to pull in ORCA.

</div>

The change comes with PlotlyBase v0.4, which is the minimum required version for PlotlyJS.jl version 0.14.0

I think you’ll need to upgrade your PlotlyJS.jl to get the changes.
