I installed this a year ago. I’m not sure what packages were installed when it built the first time.

You might want to follow [marcucius](https://discourse.julialang.org/u/marcucius) instructions above.

I tried using marcucius’ instructions but I’m getting the same error!

You may need to stop using the dev version you previously loaded with  
`]free CoolProp`  
before you try to reinstall.

I’m running into the following error:

This is rapidly exceeding my knowledge of the Julia package manager. I am using v1.2, if that matters. Sorry I cannot help more.

I will try all of this again on v1.2. Thank you so much for your help!

Hi All,  
Newbie here…

I installed CoolProp for Julia version 1.3.1, 1.4.2, and 1.5.1 on VS Code and Atom Juno,  
and it working for me. Thanks.

using Pkg  
pkg"add [https://github.com/CoolProp/CoolProp.jl.git](https://github.com/CoolProp/CoolProp.jl.git)"  
Pkg.build(“CoolProp”)

Anyone know if Julia’s CoolProp wrapper can hook into REFPROP as the python variant does?
