Setting PGFPlots in Julia and Windows

I will be ever so grateful if anyone can provide step by step help to install PGFPlots in windows for usage in Julia.

http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/sisl/PGFPlots.jl/blob/master/doc/PGFPlots.ipynb#PGFPlots

The website recommands:

Pdf2svg. This is required by TikzPictures. On Ubuntu, you can get this by running sudo apt-get install pdf2svg and on RHEL/Fedora by running sudo dnf install pdf2svg. On Windows, you can download the binaries from http://www.cityinthesky.co.uk/opensource/pdf2svg/. Be sure to add pdf2svg to your path (and restart).

Nevertheless, not a computer expert I do no understand:

To cross compile for Windows under Linux, simply install the relevant cross-compiler packages (for Fedora this is mingw32-cairo and mingw32-poppler and their dependencies) and then replace “./configure” in the compilation instructions above with “mingw32-configure”.

So if anyone can point me to the right direction that would be great?

The second part you quote is about compiling Windows binaries for pdf2svg under Linux, which, I believe, is not what you are looking for.

Simply download this Github repository they referenced, which already includes compiled binaries for Windows. Extract either dist-32bits or dist-64bits whichever is suitable for your Windows installation (i.e. 32-bit or 64-bit) to somewhere in your computer . Then add the directory that contains pdf2svg.exe to your PATH system variable.

You will also need to install pgfplots, which is a LaTeX package. So you need a LaTeX distribution, as well. You can simply install MiKTeX and then install pgfplots via its package manager/console.

That's it.
