Error when installing package

I am trying to install the GAMS package. When I do Pkg.add(“GAMS”) I get the following error message. Can someone please tell me what does it mean?

From

TranscodingStreams [3bb67fe8] has no known versions!

it looks like your registry may be messed up.

Try

pkg> registry rm General

pkg> registry add General

pkg> add TranscodingStreams

As an aside, which julia version are you using? From the stacktrace format it appears to be quite old?

3

From the paths in the stacktrace it appears to be v1.5

Yeah, good spot. I definitely recommend using the latest version. A lot has improved since 1.5

Problem solved! Thanks a lot. You are right it’s an old version. I’ll definitely look for the 1.7 version
