You can set up Plotly to work in online or offline mode. To work in online you need a username

To work in offline just edit the code as

import plotly
import plotly.graph_objs as go
from plotly.offline import *

...
...

plotly.offline.plot(fig, filename='gauge-meter-chart.html')

try plotly.offline.iplot(fig, filename='gauge-meter-chart'). – Sunitha Jun 21 '18 at 10:38
The document Suggests "Use plotly.offline.plot() to create and standalone HTML that is saved locally and opened inside your web browser. Use plotly.offline.iplot() when working offline in a Jupyter Notebook to display the plot in the notebook." – Sunitha Jun 21 '18 at 10:39
