I dont understand what is wrong, it seems to be installed but it cant use it properly ?

ocamlc graphics.cma test1.ml -o test1

File "test1.ml", line 3, characters 5-13:
3 | open Graphics;;
         ^^^^^^^^

From https://ocaml.org/manual/4.09/libgraph.html

Since OCaml 4.09, the graphics library is distributed as an external package.

Hence you have to specify to ocamlc where to find the corresponding cma file using the -I option and ocamlfind :

ocamlc -I $(ocamlfind query graphics) graphics.cma test1.ml -o test1

Using utop you will have to start with the directive #require "graphics";; before doing open Graphics;;
