I would suggest trying again in case it is a network connection issue.

I possibly tracked it down to a Cmake .tar.gz file that was corrupt.

In any case, removing ~/.julia and reinstalling worked

Is there an open issue for this kind of error on mac osx? I am working with a student which has the same problem but I couldn’t find an issue on Github.

Update: Apparently just a network issue.
