I don’t think that makie.jl already supports Julia 1.0. It does support Julia 0.7, and if you use a special branch you might be able to make it work on 1.0, see:

`]add Makie#master` should support 1.0!

@sdanisch Squeee! Make for 1.0! Does a happy dance.  
Thanks for all your effort.

I get this error - but that is a NamedTuples problem

Whoops. Looks like this may be a problem with GtkReactive

Apologies if I am the boy crying Wolf!!! I would rather flag these up now than have the thousands of people flocking to use Makie real soon now having the same errors, even though they are caused by the stumps I have for hands after the wolf bit my fingers off.

I think this isn’t really Makie’s fault - seems like there have been a few Packages that got deprecated in METADATA, which results in these kind of issues. You need to free/remove those packages.

I tried it on a completely clean docker image and installation just works:

> **[Makie Base 1.0](https://nextjournal.com/sdanisch/makie-1.0)**

If you want to quickly play around with Makie while your local installation doesn’t work, you can make an account with signup code `juliacon` and just remix that article 😉

Simon, thankyou. I do realise this is due to other packages!  
Does anyone know how to debug these messages?

I will sign up!
