Hi there!
When I do `using Pkg; Pkg.add("Colors")` in JuliaPro 1.1.1.1, I am asked to authenticate in an HTML panel.
Curious how I can just install packages normally, without having to sign in or anything. I imagine installing a package should be as easy as a `pip install package_name`, and doesn’t really have anything to do with identity or logging in.
Thanks!

As far as I know, you can’t. If you don’t want to sign in you have to switch to Julia from [julialang.org](http://julialang.org) and use an independent IDE to interface it. Btw you can download Atom and use it with Julia from [julialang.org](http://julialang.org) as well.

Gotcha, thanks very much!
