Hi, I added the package JuliBoots using

Pkg.clone(“[https://github.com/mfpaulos/JuliBoots.git](https://github.com/mfpaulos/JuliBoots.git)”)

However, when I enter

using JuliBoots

it returns

ArgumentError: Module JuliBoots not found in current path.  
Run `Pkg.add("JuliBoots")` to install the JuliBoots package.

I have tried to run Pkg.add(“JuliBoots”), it doesn’t work.

Thank you.

JuliBoots doesn’t have a `/src` directory. You should create your package using `PkgDev.generate("PkgName","MIT")` and follow that general structure. For more information, see the start of this:

Subsidiary question: can you require unregistered packages (in unregistered packages) ? e.g.

```
julia 0.5
SomePackage
https://mygit.com/OtherPackage.git

```

I saw some discussion about it at some point but I’m not sure what’s the current state of affairs.

Not currently. Pkg3 will change that.
