Hello,
I am new to Julia. I have not been able to install any package.
I use the following:
using Pkg
Pkg.add(“IJulia”)
And I get the below error:
ERROR: SystemError: opening file “C:\Users\UserName\.julia\registries\General\Registry.toml”: No such file or directory
I have gone through different solution like remove the `registries` but nothing has worked.
Could you please help?
Thanks

are you behind a firewall, what version is your julia?

Not sure about the firewall…

did you install Julia via the official download page (i.e not JuliaPro?); you can delete the entire `.julia` and retry

I installed Julia from the official page: [Download Julia](https://julialang.org/downloads/)
How can I delete the entire .julia?
And after I have done that do I need to do anything else?

how did you delete `registries`? same way, just delete that folder. After that, just re-launch julia and try again

delete the folder `.julia` as stated in that path you posted originally
