I am working with vscode, I made an environment in the current folder

```julia
] activate . 

```

Selected it from the list of environments in vscode bottom left side

added some packages

```julia
pkg> st
      Status `~/GitProjects/FANS/Project.toml`
  [f5f396d3] ApproxBayes v0.3.2
  [a93c6f00] DataFrames v1.3.3

  [4c63d2b9] StatsFuns v0.9.8
  [fce5fe82] Turing v0.15.1
  [112f6efa] VegaLite v2.6.0

```

and then tried to add the following

```julia
 pkg> add ParetoSmooth
    Updating registry at `~/.julia/registries/General.toml`

```

I don’t know how to resolve the issue with ParetoSmooth.
