Error installing atom-julia-client 0.6.12

Hi,

I get the error below while trying to update atom-julia-client to version 0.6.12 using Atom 1.26.0, JuliaPro 0.6.2.1 and IntelPython 3.6.3.

Updating to “julia-client@0.6.12” failed.Hide output…

In general it’s a bad idead to try to update packages shipped with JuliaPro. I’m not sure if this is why the update fails for you though – you could try completly uninstalling julia-client and reinstall it.

I know… I am not using the Atom shipped with JuliaPro. Uninstalling it (version 0.6.10) and trying to install 0.6.12 did unfortunately not work.

Atom is failing to install a binary dependency of julia-client. AFACIT, this is either an issue with your internet connection (unlikely since it happened more than once) or (probably) with your anti-virus solution. You might try disabling that and possibly exclude ~/.atom if the installation worked.

I have the same issue and a solution would be much appreciated.

This might help here. I’m still not entirely sure why this is happening…
