Just installed Julia 1.5 on macbook pro running catalina 10.15.6. I did `import Pkg; Pkg.add("Turing")` along with `StatsPlots` and `Random`. I then tried the demo in the turing manual and get an error right away:

can you update the packages using `]up` ?

Yah! That worked. First time back to Julia since 1.0. Was under the impression that a fresh install would work out of the box. Thanks for the solution.
