How to fix this error (first installation)?

I want to use Julia 0.6 with latest version of Atom/Juno. However, there is a below error during installation.

Does anyone know how to solve it?

Is there a particular reason why you want to use Julia 0.6 and not 1.0.5 or the current version?
It is probably easier to get the new versions to run, packages are more compatible and faster.

I need to use some package that only work in 0.6.4

It’s unlikely that anyone will be able to debug this - in all likelihood you’d need to try and install the Juno versions that were current at the time of 0.6.4 and therefore compatible with it, but that seems like a lot of effort for potentially little gain.

I think more productively you have two options, depending on how much you need to work with the package you’re interested in:

If you just need it for a one-off computation, just do that in the REPL in 0.6.4 and be done with it
If you plan to rely more heavily on the package and need to integrate it into your development workflow, it might be most useful to fix it up to work with a more current Julia version. Note that 0.6.4 is not that ancient, in the sense that there’s really only been one major release (1.0) since then. In between, you had version 0.7, which basically is 1.0 with deprecation warnings for all the things that changed between 0.6.4 and 1.0. So you can run the package in 0.7, which will then tell you the bits that need changing to make it 1.0 compatible. Once it runs on 1.0 chances are it will run on 1.4 as well, or if it doesn’t only require minor additional tweaks.
