to get my kids back into the idea of school, I started doing some simple physics experiments with them. We’ve got some data and I wrote a Jupyter notebook to analyze. Then I went to install Jupyter lab on their computers… I am aware that IJulia has a built-in conda etc but I wanted to get them the “…

Conda package operations can be excruciatingly slow sometimes. If you’re able to, I’d highly recommend https://github.com/mamba-org/mamba as a replacement.

The title of this thread is somewhat misleading as this issue has nothing to do with Julia.

Actually, once I got Jupyter lab installed, I went to ]add CSV,Plots,StatsPlots,DataFrames,IJulia and that ALSO took forever. Like maybe 2hrs… What the heck is going on? Also, status.julialang.org takes tens of minutes to load and shows long red bars on every site.

If you blank out the PKG server env var how do you get packages? Does it fall back to GitHub or something?

As I understand it, yes: JULIA_PKG_SERVER related documentation
