I want to produce chart like
this image
I got a source code that will likely produce a similar chart from this link
Highcharts.chart('container', {
chart: {
type: 'spline'
},
title: {
text: 'Monthly Average Temperature'
},
subtitle: {
text: 'Source: WorldClimate.com'
},
xAxis: {
categories: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun',
'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec'
]
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Temperature'
},
labels: {
formatter: function() {
return this.value + '°';
}
}
},
tooltip: {
crosshairs: true,
shared: true
},
plotOptions: {
spline: {
marker: {
radius: 4,
lineColor: '#666666',
lineWidth: 1
}
}
},
series: [{
name: 'Tokyo',
marker: {
symbol: 'square'
},
data: [7.0, 6.9, 9.5, 14.5, 18.2, 21.5, 25.2, {
y: 26.5,
marker: {
symbol: 'url(https://www.highcharts.com/samples/graphics/sun.png)'
}
}, 23.3, 18.3, 13.9, 9.6]
}, {
name: 'London',
marker: {
symbol: 'diamond'
},
data: [{
y: 3.9,
marker: {
symbol: 'url(https://www.highcharts.com/samples/graphics/snow.png)'
}
}, 4.2, 5.7, 8.5, 11.9, 15.2, 17.0, 16.6, 14.2, 10.3, 50, 4.8]
}]
});
<body>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.highcharts.com/highcharts.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.highcharts.com/modules/data.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.highcharts.com/modules/series-label.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.highcharts.com/modules/exporting.js"></script>
<div id="container" style="min-width: 310px; height: 400px; margin: 0 auto"></div>
</body>
But when I run this onto my own browser, there's an error from this one
Highcharts.chart('container', {
Uncaught ReferenceError: Highcharts is not defined
I copied all the source from that code, I dont think I missed something. please help

The code you implemented for the chart is before the implementation of the plug-in itself. all this
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.highcharts.com/highcharts.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.highcharts.com/modules/data.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.highcharts.com/modules/series-label.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.highcharts.com/modules/exporting.js"></script>
should be placed before the script that contains the :
Highcharts.chart('container', {
in your code.
Try this and let me know.
Ps: Also it is usually better to place all the scripts just before the closing of the '</body>'
tag after all the rest of your html. It lets all the html be loaded first before the js has a chance to apply any change to it.

You can't use a method like Highcharts before the associated library has loaded. The order that scripts load is important when code in one script tag is dependent on code in another
Switch the order of the scripts and it works fine below
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container" style="min-width: 310px; height: 400px; margin: 0 auto"></div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js">
</script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.highcharts.com/highcharts.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.highcharts.com/modules/data.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.highcharts.com/modules/series-label.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.highcharts.com/modules/exporting.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
Highcharts.chart('container', {
chart: {
type: 'spline'
},
title: {
text: 'Monthly Average Temperature'
},
subtitle: {
text: 'Source: WorldClimate.com'
},
xAxis: {
