How to solve this problem:  
Some packages have a happy installation and others do not!

Maybe an error with your network connection?

Okay. But why are some packages installed and others not?

This has already happened to me on Windows 10.  
I deleted the `.julia` folder and installed everything again. It will take a while but it worked for me.

HELP ME!!!  
I deleted the `.julia` folder.  
And now I can’t install anything. Previously, before deleting the .julia folder, in Julia 1.6.0 at least some packages were installed.  
I had an experience very similar to [JuMP installation issue in Julia v1.6 Domains Optimization (Mathematical) package jump](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/jump-installation-issue-in-julia-v1-6/58721)  
unfortunately I uninstalled Julia 1.5.4; being installed was that I managed to install some packages in Julia 1.6.0 and others not!

Delete the `.julia` directory again. Set `JULIA_PKG_SERVER` to “”.

```julia
ENV["JULIA_PKG_SERVER"] = ""

```

and then try to update.

Note that you should be able to have both 1.5.4 and 1.6 installed side-by-side.

OK, I have a crazy idea. Can you manually clone these packages using git outside of Julia?

Basically clone `https://github.com/JuliaMath/Roots.jl.git` to `C:\Users\hermesr\.julia\dev\Roots`. Then do `pkg> dev Roots`.
