When running the following lines of code I receive the same graphic, and the last lines are expected to deliver an interactive graphic.

```julia

Try

```julia
plotlyjs()

```

instead of

```julia
Plots.PlotlyJSBackend()

```

So:

```julia
using Plots
plotlyjs()
x=-3:0.1:3
f(x)=x^2
y=f.(x)
plot(x,y,label="line")
scatter!(x,y,label="point")
title!("PlotlyJS()")

```

I had to add ORCA at first, but maybe my versions are outdated:

```julia
julia> ]

(@v1.5) pkg> add ORCA

```

Don’t know why this is.  
Are you able to use the plotlyjs backend now?

Maybe

Why that and not

Just pasting errors is not enough for me to help you.  
I have to assume that you did

```julia
remove ORCA

```

ok.  
I get the same, so I did a `add ORCA`.

I don’t know if it is needed but add also `PlotlyJS`:  
`import Pkg; Pkg.add("PlotlyJS")`

This is the full command list in a new REPL:

```julia
import Pkg; Pkg.add("PlotlyJS")
import Pkg; Pkg.add("ORCA")
using Plots
plotlyjs()
x=-3:0.1:3
f(x)=x^2
y=f.(x)
plot(x,y,label="line")
scatter!(x,y,label="point")
title!("PlotlyJS()")

```

Looking at your former threads I still must say, that something is terrible wrong with your Windows system. For me your odyssey started with this thread:

> [@IJulia do not run](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/ijulia-do-not-run/45409):

And all the threads with package problems somehow ended without a solution, isnt it?

Your powershell is not able to download

```julia
https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/download/v4.0.4/electron-v4.0.4-win32-x64.zip

```

I think you need some local help (maybe your local system admin of your organisation) to check if your Windows is somehow in bad condition or if your environment (e.g. network restrictions) may be the cause of your trouble.

I’m on the home PC !!  
Recreating the story, I think the problem started when I tried to take a course and was asked to install nteract.  
Windows alerted me that this software was harmful to my system.  
And I denied the installation !!  
But I followed one of the instructions of the course:  
“To follow along with XXXX, you can either download the notebook file below and run it in nteract locally or play around with Repl.it in the browser.”  
I chose: Repl.it in the browser.

I think, and I have no experience, to judge correctly, that this has been the problem.  
Please, I need your guidance, to continue studying Julia.

 ![Run PEPL in Web](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/d/1/d112baf3dedbf677d181fc4093096130b591c5d4.jpeg)

Should I delete the .Julia file? I have istallar again !!  
Or uninstall Julia? have I install again?

All right. Before we delete anything or reinstall we first try some less invasive method. Read this through before you start!

First general advice, please start a new REPL.

Key `]` means: press `]` as the first character at the REPL prompt. This enters Pkg REPL mode.  
So when you see

```julia
julia> ]

```

or just

```julia
]

```

I want you to enter Pkg REPL mode.

`Backspace` returns to the normal REPL mode, so when you see e.g.

```julia
(@v1.5) pkg> backspace

```

or just

```julia
backspace

```

I want you to leave Pkg REPL mode.  
(read about this in [Pkg · The Julia Language](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/stdlib/Pkg/))

In the following I want to try to create a new empty and clean environment for you to learn plots without the problems in your main environment (environments are explained here [4. Working with Environments · Pkg.jl](https://julialang.github.io/Pkg.jl/v1/environments/)) This environment is named “LearningPlots” and folder should be created in `ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"]` which for me is `C:\Users\oheil\AppData\Local\`. I have chosen this because it should be defined and writable in any Windows installation.

Do the following **line by line** in a new REPL and report everything here again:

```julia
cd(ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"])
pwd()
]
activate LearningPlots
st
add Plots
add PlotlyJS
add ORCA
st
backspace
using Plots
plotlyjs()
x=-3:0.1:3
f(x)=x^2
y=f.(x)
plot(x,y,label="line")
scatter!(x,y,label="point")
title!("PlotlyJS()")

```

If everythings go well you have to activate this environment before you start again learning plots with:

```julia
cd(ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"])
]
activate LearningPlots
backspace

```

If you decide not to use environments because it is another step to take which you don’t want for now, than remove the .julia folder as you suggested and do the following in a new REPL again **line by line** :

```julia
]
instantiate
st
add Plots
add PlotlyJS
add ORCA
st
backspace
using Plots
plotlyjs()
x=-3:0.1:3
f(x)=x^2
y=f.(x)
plot(x,y,label="line")
scatter!(x,y,label="point")
title!("PlotlyJS()")

```

The first part

```julia
]
instantiate
st
add Plots
add PlotlyJS
add ORCA
st
backspace

```

is needed only the first time after you have removed folder `.julia`.

In VScode the plotlyjs () works, as I show you in the image,

 ![Plot PlotlyJS VScode](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/4/a/4a726fac52e6ee235c8a3898183e9731cc528c85.jpeg)  
but GR () does not work; which is the same as in Julia’s REPL

Ok, now GR:  
Please try this:
