So the fundamental issue is that you have a powershell that can’t talk with the internet at large because it doesn’t support TLS v1.2. To fix this, you should read the Windows platform instructions and install the TLS easy fix, then update your powershell: [Platform Specific Instructions for Official Binaries](https://julialang.org/downloads/platform/)

If you can’t do that, you can try installing `curl`, then setting the environment variable `BINARYPROVIDER_DOWNLOAD_ENGINE` to the value `curl`. Do that, then run the commands I gave you above again.
