Trouble installing IJulia in fresh Julia 1.0

The suggestion to use the older version of Anaconda 3.6 works for me on Windows 10. This is what I did:

  • download and install Minconda3-4.5.1-Windows-x86_64.exe from Index of /. I am not sure this is relevant since later you tell conda to install python3.6 in the python environment for Julia, but I have not tested it.
  • follow the instruction at https://github.com/JuliaPy/Conda.jl except for explicitly forcing conda to install python3.6 in the environment conda_jl by typing conda create -n conda_jl python=3.6 conda
  • add ENV["CONDA_JL_HOME"] = "/path/to/Miniconda3/envs/conda_jl" to your startup.jl file in .julia/config/startup.jl
  • start julia and type using Pkg; Pkg.add("PyPlot")
