Are you in China perhaps? There were posts here before where the Chinese firewall blocked access to the pkgregistry. You’ll have to use a proxy or VPN I think.  
Maybe have look here for more info: [Why is it so hard to install packages in julia from China? - #11 by ToucheSir](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/why-is-it-so-hard-to-install-packages-in-julia-from-china/87566/11)
