Before describing the issue, I just wanted to comment that I not sure whether it is specific to JuliaBox (locally on my laptop things work fine).

I am using Julia 1.0 on JuliaBox. To add a package I type `Pkg.add("StaticArrays")`, where `StaticArrays` is just given as an examplepackage. Loading the package locally with `using StaticArrays` works fine. After adding additional remote processes using `addprocs(4)`, I tried loading `StaticArrays` on the remote machines using `@everywhere using StaticArrays` and I got the following error:

```julia
On worker 2:
ArgumentError: Package StaticArrays not found in current path:
- Run `Pkg.add("StaticArrays")` to install the StaticArrays package.

```

I guess my question is: are the remote machines aware of local package installations? If not, how can I add packages that are usable on remote machines? (BTW I tried `@everywhere using Pkg; Pkg.add("StaticArrays")` and the error I got indicates that Pkg is not allowed on remote machines.

Thanks!
