I see that it is impossible lo “add Interact” to both “v16.5” (LTS) and to “v17.2” …
Please let me know …
Thanks !!

It’s generally more helpful to post an actual error message - I have no problems adding and using Interact on either Julia 1.7.2 or 1.6.5.

Not at all! I use it on 1.7 all the time.
Yes best to post your full error message.

Thany tou for the suggestions. Hope the below is correctly formatted. I’m a newcomer …

Can you add any other packages? What do you get from `] registry status`?
(Also to format your code properly enclose it in triple backticks `````)

How did you end up with that? Please do
```julia
] registry rm JuliaComputingRegistry
] registry add General
] add Interact
```

JuliaComputingRegistry probably entered by using `JuliaAcademy`, but I’m not sure …
Now Interact is perfectly working …!! Thank you so much

Hi guys,
the `Interact` package does not work again for me.
A notebook excerpt for 18S096/lectures/lecture2 follows, locally evaluated in my macbook w MacOS Monterey v"12.2.1", using Jupyter from Julia v"1.7.2".
Same error on Safari, Firefox and Chrome.
Thanks for your help:
```julia
using Interact
```
The package contains a `@manipulate` macro, that is wrapped around a for loop:
```julia
@manipulate for n in 1:1000
n
end
```
Invalid dependency (must be a url, file, or AssetRegistry path): `/Users/paoluzzi/.julia/packages/Knockout/3gjS1/src/../assets/knockout.js`
