I am absolutely new to Julia and wanted to give it a first try.
On a computer with windows 7 I installed Julia-0.3.0 (flawlessly).
The -very first- instruction that I typed on Julia's console was
Pkg.add("Cairo")
I was willing to follow a hands on tutorial which included some plot
examples which required the Cairo package.
The process failed.
What could have gone wrong if I installed the latest Julia version in a
computer that has never seen Julia before?
What should be done in order to install The Cairo package correctly?
How to 'uninstall' and 're-install' a package in Julia?.
I would appreciate any help on these matters.
What follows is a copy of Julia's console:
