I’m trying to install some packages in Julia. But at the time of installation I see this error.

ERROR: The following package names could not be resolved:

- ImageTracking (not found in project, manifest or registry)  
Please specify by known `name=uuid`.

This error is thrown at me when I try to install the parcel service.

julia\> import Pkg

julia\> Pkg.add(“ImageTracking”)  
Updating registry at `C:\Users\gerso\.julia\registries\General`  
Updating git-repo `https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git`  
ERROR: The following package names could not be resolved:

- ImageTracking (not found in project, manifest or registry)  
Please specify by known `name=uuid`.

Someone could help me … or tell you what would be the correct sentence to install this package …

Confirmed, but this seems to work:

```julia
(v1.3) pkg> add https://github.com/JuliaImages/ImageTracking.jl

```

You enter Pkg REPL mode (pkg\> …) with ]

So far so good.  
You need also

```julia
Pkg.add("Images")

```

But than I am out with:

```julia
[Info: Precompiling Images [916415d5-f1e6-5110-898d-aaa5f9f070e0]
ERROR: LoadError: InitError: C:\Users\Oli\.julia\packages\SpecialFunctions\fvheQ\deps\usr\bin\libopenspecfun.dll cannot be opened, Please re-run Pkg.build("SpecialFunctions"), and restart Julia.

```

Further

```julia
Pkg.build("SpecialFunctions")

```

gives some more errors which seem to Windows specific. Before I would try to solve that I would first try it on some linux box or under Cygwin.

Try:

> Launch the Julia terminal using right-click and “Run as administrator”. It’s good to do this when installing or upgrading packages.

And as an entry in the REPL Pkg mode?

If I appear like this

julia\>

and it does not appear

pkg\>
