Hi @davidjayjackson

You can use YouPlot on Windows.

  1. install RubyInstaller (Ruby+Devkit 3.X.X (x64) with Devkit)
    • Select (with devkit) because the enumerable-statistics on which YouPlot depends is a native extension and must be compiled.
    • RubyInstaller installs the MinGW and MSYS2 toolchain for Ruby.
  2. Install YouPlot with the following command gem install youplot.
    • YouPlot is a Ruby package.

I do try YouPlot on Windows from time to time. But installing Ruby on Windows may not be a very comfortable experience for people who are not Ruby users. And command line tools like YouPlot are most efficient when used with Unix pipelines and commands.
