Hi  
As a newbe to Julia I have problem with adding packed e.g. Winston for plot to my PC.  
i get several errors like:

> julia\> Pkg.add(“Winston”)  
> Cloning default registries into `C:\Users\CSJN\.julia`  
> Cloning registry from “[GitHub - JuliaRegistries/General: The official registry of general Julia packages](https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git)”  
> ERROR: failed to clone from [GitHub - JuliaRegistries/General: The official registry of general Julia packages](https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git), error: GitError(Code:ERROR, Class:OS, failed to send request: The operation timed out  
> )

Any hints ?

As first attempt a few questions:

- can you open [GitHub - JuliaRegistries/General: The official registry of general Julia packages](https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git) in your brwoser
- Do you have some restrictive firewall rules applying to Julia?

Maybe try poking github from the command line. ssh and such… Looks like access protocols are not working (firewall perhaps?).

Hi both  
Thnks a lot for the hint.  
Yes I can connect to Github in a browser and it also seems to go a bit futher if i pass the firewall, but still the result is several errors:

julia\> Pkg.add(“winston”)  
Cloning default registries into `C:\Users\CSJN\.julia`  
Cloning registry from “[GitHub - JuliaRegistries/General: The official registry of general Julia packages](https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git)”  
Added registry `General` to `C:\Users\CSJN\.julia\registries\General`  
ERROR: The following package names could not be resolved:

- winston (not found in project, manifest or registry)  
Please specify by known `name=uuid`.

Are I’m going to be “Sign in” to Github during the installation or can I download the packed (where to ?) or  
…

Now the only problems seems to be that you spelled `Winston` with a lowercase `w`. Try `Pkg.add("Winston")`.
