When I try to add this package, I get the following error:
```julia
(v1.3) pkg> add BaseBenchmarks
ERROR: The following package names could not be resolved:
* BaseBenchmarks (not found in project, manifest or registry)
Please specify by known `name=uuid`.
```
I was hoping to benchmark some Julia code on a new PC I just built. Any ideas as to what’s going on here?

You can always `add https://github.com/JuliaCI/BaseBenchmarks.jl` without using a registry.
(BaseBenchmarks.jl is mainly used for performance-regression testing in the development of Julia itself, via [Nanosoldier](https://github.com/JuliaCI/Nanosoldier.jl); it is not a package that most people will want to install themselves.)
If you want to benchmark your _own_ code, I would recommend the BenchmarkTools package (which _is_ registered).
