How to fix the problem of plotly cannot use?

Question

I was trying to follow the document for package plotly for my own dataset, no matter what I write there is always error raised saying there are no methods match it, then I have tried the document example directly, there are still errors raised:

julia> plot([box(x=rand(50)),box(x=rand(50).+1)])
Error showing value of type PlotlyJS.SyncPlot:

I think it might be the problem of my environment setting, does anyone have met this kind of situation before? Thanks in advance!

Have you done what the error message suggests, i.e. `Blink.AtomShell.install()`? — Nils Gudat, Nov 24 '22 at 17:05

If you are running a PlotlyJS.jl version < 0.18.10, try to update to the last one (i.e. 0.18.10) or run the code in a Jupyter Notebook.

Try instead using Plots.jl with PlotlyJS backend, gives same interactive plots as PlotlyJS.jl. Use StatsPlots.jl for the box plots. The following command shall work for your case.

using Plots, StatsPlots; plotlyjs()
boxplot([rand(50),rand(50).+1])
