Error in precompiling packages

Tooling Package Management

Thanks. So if the same set of packagles were loaded with GARCH removed, it should work OK?
Could this be solved by
Removing GARCH and running a resolve?

This seems to improve the situation.

using Pkg
pkg"add https://github.com/AndreyKolev/GARCH.jl" # This will uncap the dependencies of GARCH
pkg"up"

I’ll pass that on. Thanks so much!
[Update - it worked!]

If you give this version of Project.toml to your students it will work on Linux and Windows 10:

Project.toml (1.2 KB)

And if they try to install outdated packages like GARCH they will get an error message.

Thanks so much!

As a more general comment, why are you not using the ARCHModels package which is very well maintained and (as far as I can tell) implements everything GARCH implements and lots more?

You are right, of course, and we are using ARCHModels, but these students are quite advanced and I encourage the more advanced ones to find the necessary packages. Like me, they obviously must have tested/rejected GARCH before finding ARCHModels (as the name seemed more obvious), but hadn’t thought it necessary to remove the unused package. Thank you for the suggestion, though.
