I added a package but can’t seem to have it be recognised:

(v1.2) pkg> add https://github.com/Staross/JuliaCMAES.git

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

On my machine:

(scratch) pkg> add https://github.com/Staross/JuliaCMAES.git
    Cloning git-repo `https://github.com/Staross/JuliaCMAES.git`
   Updating git-repo `https://github.com/Staross/JuliaCMAES.git`
ERROR: could not find project file in package at https://github.com/Staross/JuliaCMAES.git

Your repo does not have the expected directory structure for a package. It also lacks Project.toml.

You will have to create a package (e.g. PackageTemplates.jl), copy the code into it, then add should work.

That is not a package at all, just a repository with a single source code file. Your best chance to run it is to just include the file, in Julia 0.5.

Thanks. I just noticed this package seems to be discontinued, perhaps superceded by Evolutionary.jl.

Thanks!
