I’ve registered a package like [this](https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General/pull/30526) but I cannot install it on my machine.

```julia
(@v1.5) pkg> add LazyFym
ERROR: The following package names could not be resolved:
 * LazyFym (not found in project, manifest or registry)

```

Sometimes, it takes a while for packages to propagate.

Ah, I was probably too impatient.  
Do you know how long it usually takes? 🙂

I’m sure that I’ve read it somewhere and I’ve looked around but cannot find it. I hope someone else on this forum, who does know, passes by.

did you `pkg> registry up` (or restart Julia) before adding your package?

Of course I did (I also tried to remove `~/.julia/registries` and retry it).  
As @rikh said, it may be take a long time 🙂

EDIT: now it works.
