Greetings;  
I am a high school teacher trying to get students to use Julia 1.3 on [Replit.com](http://Replit.com). [Replit.com](http://Replit.com) only has Julia 1.3, not 1.5 or newer.  
As shown in the attachment, the plot code works in Julia 1.6 using Pluto.  
The same code does not work in [Replit.com](http://Replit.com). 1) provides a blank prompt with no errors 2) takes over a minute to finish compiling (any suggestions to speed up plot, when it does work…

```julia

begin
 import Pkg
 Pkg.activate(mktempdir())
end
# using Pkg;
begin
  Pkg.add.(["Plots","Random","PyPlot"]);
  using Plots,PyPlot,Random
  # using GR
 # using PlotlyBase
end
#plotly() # or gr()
#pyplot()
begin
 x = 1:6;
 y = 1:6
 z = rand(1:10, 1000);
 #Plots.histogram(y,50) 
 #PyPlot.plot(1:10,z) # did not work??
 Plots.plot(x,y)
end

```

expecting [replit.com](http://replit.com) to render images for us is unrealistic I would say.

I don’t know repl.it, so Jerry is probably right that rendering images might be an issue there. That said, you might want to look into [https://github.com/Evizero/UnicodePlots.jl](https://github.com/Evizero/UnicodePlots.jl) which are reasonably fast and most importantly are directly printed to the terminal.

Greetings;  
Thank you for your Uniplot suggestion. It worked with color when I add the code in the terminal. See attachment.

## Figure 1 - Using UnicodePlots in the Terminal which results in color plots.

But I could not achieve color output when creating expressions in main.jl with/without Colors/ColorScheme/Plots

## Figure 2 - Using UnicodePlots in the [Replit.com](http://Replit.com) GUI , which uses Julia 1.3

As a High School Teacher, the unicodePlots package is adequate. I do use Julia 1.6 on my classroom Windows 10 computers, but I can monitor progress and submissions from any remote computer with [Replit.com](http://Replit.com) paid subscription. Thank you for your assistance.
