I gave a short-course this last weekend and the participants reported a pop-up window asking for admin permission while installing GeoStats.jl on Windows machines in their lab.
May be this pop-up window was from virus scanners in Windows.
Yeah, it would be very useful to know what the popup said and was titled as. I not-infrequently get popups like this when doing package operations from Julia, regardless of what the packages themselves are. Maybe it’s some Windows heuristic of a non-GUI program doing a lot of network operations or something? If the pop-up was something like that (the specific UI design has changed in recent Windows 10/11 versions I believe, but it’s the same questions and options), then it’s no dependency causing the issue, just Windows things. (I haven’t had to tackle this on systems I don’t have admin on, so I don’t have a solution if this does turn out to be the issue.)
It is probably the same kind of pop-up @digital_carver. I remember seeing it quickly on their machines. Will try to reproduce on my tablet later.
