I’m a new Julia programmer and want to use the InteractiveDynamics package. But when I try to add it, I get the following error report. How can I resolve this?
@v1.6) pkg> add InteractiveDynamics

See Should we have a package update PSA?
In short - don’t dump everything into the same environment, but work in project environments comprising only the limited set of packages you actually need.

So I tried the following in the REPL:
mkdir(“MyDynamics”)
cd("MyDynamics”)
(@v1.6) ] pkg> activate
(@v1.6) pkg> add InteractiveDynamics
And I get the same compatibility issue as before:

You’re still in the default environment, when you just call activate with no arguments it activates the default environment (think of cd with no arguments taking you back to the home directory). You want activate .

OK, got it, thanks.
Is this procedure explicitly documented somewhere (as opposed to having to infer it by piecing together disparate parts of the documentation)?
Yes, it’s all documented - if you got to the link above, Tamas in one of the first replies links to this part of the documentation 3. Managing Packages · Pkg.jl which deals with conflicts and how to interpret the conflict messages.
The other bit - working in environments and activating an environment in a new directory is documented here: 4. Working with Environments · Pkg.jl (indeed your sequence of mkdir, cd, ]activate . is the first example)

Ahh … I missed the dot in “activate . “ later.
