I am trying to add IJulia to enable the use of Julia in [nteract](https://nteract.io/about). Specifically, I am following the procedure outlined in this JuliaAcademy video. When I run `] install("IJulia")` in Julia, I get the following series of errors:

```julia
(@v1.6) pkg> add IJulia
  Installing known registries into `C:\Users\SA30308\.julia`
┌ Warning: could not download https://pkg.julialang.org/registries
└ @ Pkg.Types C:\buildbot\worker\package_win64\build\usr\share\julia\stdlib\v1.6\Pkg\src\Types.jl:997

ERROR: failed to clone from https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git, error: GitError(Code:ERROR, Class:OS, failed to send request: The operation timed out
)

```

I am running on fully updated Julia 1.6.2 on my Windows PC. Not sure what I’m doing wrong, still a newbie regarding Julia! I’d love any advice/indication as to how to correctly run a Julia kernel in nteract

Have you managed to install any packages? It looks like a firewall might be blocking access. There might be something about firewall in the docs or on this forum.

Edit: and welcome!
