I am just trying out Pkg(3), and I am somewhat confused because I expected this to work:

```julia
julia> VERSION
v"0.7.0-alpha.20"

(v0.7) pkg> up
 Resolving package versions...

(v0.7) pkg> add Revise
ERROR: The following package names could not be resolved:
 * Revise (not found in project, manifest or registry)
Please specify by known `name=uuid`.

```

since Revise is in Uncurated. What am I missing?

Do you have `Uncurated` in `~/.julia/registries/`?

No, what’s the recommended way of adding it?

Looks like [Errors when trying the new package manager (0.7)](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/errors-when-trying-the-new-package-manager-0-7/11123) with solution:

> [@Errors when trying the new package manager (0.7)](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/errors-when-trying-the-new-package-manager-0-7/11123/2):
>
> Can you try to remove `.julia/registries` and try again.

I wonder why people keep getting empty registry folders. Should warn of do something else about that.

Probably leftover from very early experimentation with Pkg3 in my case.
