Did you run `Pkg.update()` ?  
It also isn’t listed here: [https://pkg.julialang.org](https://pkg.julialang.org)

i don’t think it’s published yet. So you need to use Pkg.clone to install it

That is my guess, I will try Pkg.clone

That package is not ready yet, sorry. We first need to get FstFileFormat.jl to work and then need to register a whole bunch of things.

@xiaodai, if you could enable travis and appveyor for FstFileFormat.jl, we could move forward with this.

I am really sorry guys. I had this deep fear of not knowing what to do. I finally had the courage to do some research and try to register the package. see [https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General/pull/2477](https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General/pull/2477)
