I’m using Julia’s v1.5.2-1 version and I’m trying to plot a graphic. But when I use the command Pkg.add(“Plots”) a error message appears… Look…:

julia\> Pkg.add(“Plots”)  
Updating registry at `C:\Users\user\.julia\registries\JuliaComputingRegistry`  
ERROR: The following package names could not be resolved:

- Plots (not found in project, manifest or registry)

What can I do to solve the problem?

Could it be you don’t have the General registry installed, for some reason? (Maybe some kind of JuliaPro thing?). You should be able to add it by running

```julia
using Pkg
Pkg.Registry.add("General")

```

after which adding Plots.jl should work.

Hey Eric. Till the Pkg.Registry.add(“General”) it’s ok. I understand…

I dont understand how to add the plots afters this… everything I do its wrong… look:

julia\> Pkg.Registry.add(“Plots.jl”)  
ERROR: no path or url specified for registry  
or

julia\> Pkg.add(“Plots.jl”)  
ERROR: `Plots.jl` is not a valid package name

What should I write to add the plots after Pkg.Registry.add(“General”) ?

Try `Pkg.add("Plots")` (without .jl).

In fact even the command: Pkg.Registry.add(“General”)

To fix this issue, manually delete the following folder: `C:\Users\user\.julia\registries\General` and execute following commands in your JuliaPro REPL

```julia
Pkg.Registry.add(Pkg.RegistrySpec(url = "$(Pkg.pkg_server())/registry/General", uuid = "23338594-aafe-5451-b93e-139f81909106"))
Pkg.add("Plots")

```
