I recently installed IJulia for Julia v1.6.1, and now when I add a package, e.g. `Pkg.add("DataFrames")`, I don’t get any updates on the installation progress; there’s no message or output whatsoever. When I add a package to the Julia command line, I get installation updates like so:

```julia
julia> Pkg.add("DataFrames")
    Updating registry at `C:\Users\Michael\.julia\registries\General`
   Resolving package versions...
  No Changes to `C:\Users\Michael\.julia\environments\v1.6\Project.toml`
  No Changes to `C:\Users\Michael\.julia\environments\v1.6\Manifest.toml`

```

How can I get Jupyter Notebook to display these same installation updates?

> Thanks, yes I was reluctant to filing an issue at PlutoUI if it was indeed a Julia issue. I looks like import Pkg; Pkg.DEFAULT\_IO[] = stdout should be a workaround, but it seems to make no difference for me in 1.6.1, unfortunately.

Oh, I have a problem too, Pkg.status() doesn’t return anything, although it would be very nice to see what version of packages are downloaded by Pkg.

Hmm, so the issue with Pluto that you linked is the same as this Jupyter Notebook issue? And has the issue been resolved through a PR? And if so, do I need to download 1.6.1 again, or download a “nightly” version to get the fix?

I tried to link to this fix:

```julia
import Pkg; Pkg.DEFAULT_IO[] = stdout 

```

The real fix will be in Julia 1.6.2.

Thank you, this fixed it!
