Hey!  
I tried to install your package by " pkg\> add “[GitHub - oxinabox/ProjectManagement.jl: Project Management tools, with a particular focus on PERT charts](https://github.com/oxinabox/ProjectManagement.jl)”"  
but I keep getting this error: “ERROR: failed to clone from [https://github.com/JuliaComputing/BinaryProvider.jl.git](https://github.com/JuliaComputing/BinaryProvider.jl.git), error: GitError(Code:ERROR, Class:Net, request failed with status code: 404)”

ANy idea what is going on? I am a Julia newbie. Not sure if I am doing something rather stupid.

`]` to enter Pkg- mode, then `add ProjectManagement`  
should work.  
It’s a registered package.

What error do you get (show us all of it) and what is your Julia version?

Seems like a problem with JuliaPro.  
I have asked a moderator to split this thread off into a seperate question about issues installing packages with JuliaPro.  
I can’t help you with that unfortunately, as I don’t use JuliaPro.  
But hopefully someone else can. 🙂

To add to this, is there a specific reason why you are using JuliaPro? If not it might be useful to move to regular Julia, as the vast majority of users on here doesn’t use JuliaPro which makes it harder to get help with JuliaPro-specific issues

That is because I am a complete newbie. What do people use in general for Julia if they are using Windows?

</div>

“In general” is hard to say, but I’d think the most common setup is the normal Julia version (either 1.5.4 or 1.6.0rc3, the release candidate of soon-to-be released 1.6) together with either Juno/Atom or VSCode as an IDE, or IJulia/Jupyter notebooks or Pluto for notebooks.

That said there’s support for loads of different setups, and I know of people using Sublime Text, Vim, Emacs, and many other solutions successfully - if you have a preferred setup from some other language it’s likely that some sort of Julia support for it exists.

Thank you all. I uninstalled JuliaPro and installed Atom/Juno. I then  
Pkg\>add ProjectManagement,  
which worked. However, when I tried to use it in a script. Here is what I got:

Then also bunch of other errors. ANy ideas? Here is another error below this:

Can you try deleting the `.julia` folder and trying again?

Please execute following command to fix this issue on JuliaPro

Is it OK to remove a registry? Will it mess up with other things?

> Is it OK to remove a registry? Will it mess up with other things?

Yes, it should be OK to remove “JuliaPro” registry and it should not mess up your installation. Based on your logs, your JuliaPro installation had 3 registries

```julia
JuliaPro
JuliaComputingRegistry
General

```

Packages will be pulled from `JuliaComputingRegistry` and `General` registries once `JuliaPro` registry is removed.
