I encountered the same problem as well, and I searched for the solution and found nothing. It seems like it lacks the file “deps.jl” on that path

!!! After replying you, I included the “deps.jl” into my search keys, and I found: Can't install Plots on julia-1.6.0

may helps

Try

using Pkg
Pkg.add("GR")
Pkg.build("GR")

If that does not work, then it would be good to file an issue at Issues · jheinen/GR.jl · GitHub .
