ADD IJulia installation: Julia 1.1 failed, 1.0.3 works

I started from scratch (uninstall 1.1 then re-download v1.1 Julia then install), below is relevant screen capture & log files

To test the hypothesis that Julia 1.1 & IJulia don’t work, I uninstalled 1.1 & installed 1.0.3 & notebook() works now (as of 01/29/2019/TUE/9:50pm/ET)

I also have a similar problem with IJulia, are there any ways to fix this using Julia 1.1.0?

I stopped testing Julia: given the lack of response I concluded, for now, Julia isn’t stable/mature enough relative to the #of experts out there that are willing to help

I got kind of the same idea - as i am a basic user, there is only so much i bother checking for errors before giving up, but i really want it to just work.

@sloggers @kklocker I reported the same issue with IJulia on this discussion board.
I got some suggestions from two people and was able to solve the issue.

Please do nto abandon Julia because of this issue. If you were to abandon a language every time you came across a problem you would rapidly be using an abaqus.
This is a good and friendly community. Join in, stick with it and you will be givign advice to others sooner rather than later.

To make it clear, my issue was on Windows 10 and I had the PATH variable set to Julia 1.0.1 - which meant that IJulia did not build with version 1.1
Simple error, simple fix.

When you do have 1.1 working with latest IJulia, please let us know the steps in detail.
Love to try it again.

No problems. It is working!
May I ask which OS you are using?
Im my case windows 10 - I had to change the PATH variable which was set for an old Julia 1.0.1 installation.

My apologies - I read your initial post and it is Windows.
I would check your PATH variable.
Then in Pkg> remove IJulia
Pkg> add IJulia

win8.1pro/64bit
uninstalled 1.0.3
uninstalled 1.1.0
fresh install 1.1.0
double checked PATH has h:\julia-1.1.0
** able to install IJulia now
** however, got internal error as shown below upon creation of new notebook with 1.1.0

I’m not familiar with using Julia on Windows, but maybe delete your .julia folder? This will remove all your packages. Then try installing IJulia and everything else again.

Same error occured, it failes on ZMQ and MbedTLS, whatever those are.

TO find the dependencies of any package, go to the package home page, for instance

Then look in the REQUIRE file. You will have to do a little searching to find the package home pages.

I can only report that on windows 10 with Julia 1.1.0 (2019-01-21)
ZMQ v1.0.0
MbedTLS v0.6.7
add and build OK for me. I guess that won’t make you happy!

Regarding Windows 8.1 maybe the bug there is an aspect of 8.1

Look here please. Looks like there has been an update in the last 24 hours.

I suggest going into the pkg> prompt then
remove MbedTLS
remove ZMQ

add MbedTLS
add ZMQ

Maybe you hit a short slot where the package was not available for download.

I am running Julia 1.1.0 (2019-01-21) on Windows 10, with the same package versions as you have…

It is a bit frustrating now

Could you try to download this file using a web browser?
ALsi in Powershell on windows have you set your git proxy? You must have, or you would nto be able to download any packages at all!

I will try! I do not know what git proxy is though

My bad. If you are on a network behidn a proxy server you need to set the http proxy which Git will use. Please forget what I said.
