Hello

It did not work. Please see below.

**CODE**  
I updated the code as follows:

"import Pkg;

Pkg.add(“Plots”);

Pkg.add(“GR\_jll”);

using GR\_jll;

using Plots;

Pkg.status()

f(x) = sin(x);

plot(f,0,2\*pi,title=“First Graph”,xlabe = “x”, ylabel = “y”);

g(x) = cos(x);

# list of two functions f and g included in the plot

plot([f,g],0,2\*pi,title=“First Graph”,xlabe = “x”, ylabel = “y”);

savefig(“firstgraph.pdf”);"

_ **ERROR MESSAGE** _  
The error message is as follows:
