**Hi Everyone, I’m new to Julia (and also coding). I started to use 1.5.3 on my ubuntu 18.04. I would like to use DataFrames, but I couldn’t. I tried to use it on 1.6.0rc1, but I’ve got the same troubles.**

**Firstly I added the package with Pkg.add(“DataFrames”). When I try to use with “using DataFrames” command I got the following message:**

[Info: Precompiling DataFrames [a93c6f00-e57d-5684-b7b6-d8193f3e46c0]  
ERROR: Failed to precompile DataFrames [a93c6f00-e57d-5684-b7b6-d8193f3e46c0] to /home/jnp/.julia/compiled/v1.6/DataFrames/jl\_8Jhaaf.  
Stacktrace:

**OK, I’m not worried. Try to remove and reinstall:**  
**Pkg.rm(“DataFrames”)**  
**Pkg.resolve()**  
**Pkg.add(“DataFrames”)**  
**It has been installed successfully with all of its depedencies.**  
**After tried again:**  
**julia\> using DataFrames**

Welcome to the Julia community, and I can see how this gives a bad impression.

Please try for me pressing ] for pkg mode, then do:

```julia
(@v1.6) pkg> st DataFrames

then copy the output and post here on discourse, if different version from the next command:

(@v1.6) pkg> add DataFrames@v0.22.5

julia> @time using DataFrames
  1.471782 seconds (1.52 M allocations: 110.252 MiB, 2.71% gc time, 5.94% compilation time)

```

That’s to make sure you have the latest (current) version. Actually it also has dependencies, and it should make sure you have versions of them that should work (otherwise the package has a bug). For now we assume that’s not the problem.

You shouldn’t usually need to add a version that way (I’m trying to expose what happened, if you get an error that would be a hint), and should get the latest (e.g. if you did nothing else than install this package), but I’ve had a problem were adding a package downgrades another (or upgrades; that could in theory also be a problem).

If this doesn’t work I would (temporarily) move out of the way the “julia” folder, in Linux done as:

```julia
$ mv ~/.julia ~/.julia_bak

```

and try again. Or possibly do (to get the development version, shouldn’t be needed, the above SHOULD work, but it’s known to be faster):

```julia
(@v1.6) pkg> add DataFrames#main

julia> @time using DataFrames
  1.150629 seconds (986.15 k allocations: 71.547 MiB, 2.20% gc time, 7.72% compilation time)

```

For other packages you might need rather #master but for that package, it’s no longer used, and you WILL get an old version.

This version has e.g. faster inner joins, and until a new version is tagged you don’t get it in the stable version.

Should be fixed in 1.6-RC2 which will be out soon. Things like this is why 1.6 is not fully released yet 🙂

I’m confused, I’m on rc1 and ok for me, and he also tried 1.5.3, so what makes you think related to rc1? Still great rc2 is coming, I noticed you setting the version.

I thought it might have to do with this [Infinite loop in subtyping on 1.6 · Issue #39948 · JuliaLang/julia · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/39948). But maybe not.

**Thank you for your very detailed answer. I put here the status of the DataFrame, but it is the latest 0.22.5 as you waited:**

Did you get Julia by downloading a binary? Or are you installing from an apt repository or similar? It seems like there’s something busted.

Could it be e.g. because of an ARM platform (I know this the user is using an unusual platform, from private conversation, just didn’t get ARM confirmed)? Since it’s rc1 is it likely to be from apt?

Dear All,

I’ve found the main problem. I using DigitalOcean droplet for my Julia dev project as Palli mentioned. It has only 1GB of RAM. I upgraded my droplet to 4GB of RAM, and now finally works the precompiling well. Thank you everyone for the replies (especially for Palli). I would advise a much more understandable error message for this trouble for the Julia developers 🙂
