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](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/cant-install-plots-on-julia-1-6-0/59360)

may helps

Try

```julia
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](https://github.com/jheinen/GR.jl/issues) .
