Hi Steven, you’ve been immensely helpful. I’m getting plots in anaconda and the REPL.
I am not a python user at all and don’t think I configured python. However, there is a 2.7 installation in /System/Library/Frameworks that may be part of Mojave. Is that the problem? Could installing Anadonda first have caused the problem? I’d like to be able to tell people how to get things working with a list like this
Install Anaconda
Install Juila
while Pkgx = IJulia, PyPlot, Conda (more?)
Do add Pkgx
Do using Pkgx
end
will that the the correct matplotlib backend into PyPlot even with the 2.7 version in a System file? Should I still have to explicitly add pyqt?
What do I tell Python users. Is what I finally came up with (using Conda + Conda.add(“pyqt”)) going to do the job for them?
The people who will attend my presentation will want to play with Julia themselves and expect me to tell them how to get started. The math part is going well, but
Putting the install in the cloud would work ok for notebooks, but we’d need the students to use the REPL and they’ll want to use their own computers. This is also a problem with Python, which is why we are a Matlab shop.
I’m also worried about reproducability in publications. I’m using Julia in a paper for the first time and do not want the code I put in supplementary materials to fail to run. I’m not the only Julia/Pyton user who worries about this.
Thanks again,
– Tim
