Package version updates

New to Julia

Hi everyone,

I have a question about package version and updates.

For example, I am learning to use Makie now. On my Windows machine with Julia v1.4, the package is successfully installed with the current latest version v0.11.1.
However, on my Mac with Julia v1.5, it will only install an old version:

(@v1.5) pkg> add Makie

  [1cfade01] + UnicodeFun v0.4.1

Even if I say

]update Makie

It won’t update to the latest version.

What am I missing here? Is there any specific dependency rules that restrict me from obtaining the latest version on Mac?

You might have other packages installed that are not compatible with it.

And the way to confirm this to do add Makie@X.X.X with the updated version that you want, and it should fail telling you which packages prevent this from happening.

It turns out that my Colors.jl package is too old. Thank you folks!
