I have installed ROOT 6.32.08 and it is available in PATH but when I do add ROOT in Julia REPL I am getting this warning

```julia-auto
(@v1.11) pkg> add ROOT
   Resolving package versions...
  No Changes to `C:\Users\Aditya\.julia\environments\v1.11\Project.toml`
  No Changes to `C:\Users\Aditya\.julia\environments\v1.11\Manifest.toml`

  ✓ ROOT
  1 dependency successfully precompiled in 12 seconds. 644 already precompiled.
  1 dependency precompiled but a different version is currently loaded. Restart julia to access the new version. Otherwise, loading dependents of this package may trigger further precompilation to work with the unexpected version.
  1 dependency had output during precompilation:
┌ ROOT
│ ┌ Error: No supported ROOT version installation. Please install ROOT (https://root.cern/install) version 6.32.8 or 6.32.6, and call ROOTpres.setROOTSYS(path) to set the path to the installation base directory (i.e containting bin/root and bin/root-config).

```

For reference this is my root version

```julia-auto
PS C:\Users\Aditya> root

Have you called this function mentioned in the warning?

I tried doing this

```julia-auto
julia> using ROOT
┌ Warning: The imported ROOT module is empty because of the error mentioned above. To import the module again after resolving the issue, a restart of Julia is required.
