Hi. In the nicest possible way the repository for gen-quickstart.sh contains the recipes fro building a Docker container to run Gen  
It is not a Julia package

I am really sorry if I sound rude - I am not being rude to you. I hope the community here can help you.

Probably what you want is

```julia
pkg> add Gen

```

This is the library used in the quick start guide.
