Hi Julia users!

As the new version came out and having a LOT of problems installing/precompiling CUDA.jl, CUDAnative.jl, CuArrays.jl, I decided to freshly reinstall Julia 1.5.2. However, I see the specified error message:

It seems the server is down and it shows 502 Bad Gateway. Since using "https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git" does not update CUDA.jl (v0.1.0), I can’t seem to use CUDA. So…

  1. How can I fix could not download https://pkg.julialang.org/registries?
  2. How can I update CUDA.jl and its companion packages to get it running?

Thank you :slight_smile:

For those future readers who are having similar questions:

  1. could not download https://pkg.julialang.org/registries is returned when the server is down.
  2. CUDAnative.jl, CUDAapi.jl are deprecated.
3

So when will the server go alive? Are there any notice about down time of the server?

I see that it is on and off. So I reran the whole process hoping it does not close. Eventually it worked.

Hi! I found this work for me for the same problem. So I started to update / upgrade my powershell from 2 into powershell 5:) (I use windows)
