Pkg.add("IJulia") can not work

When I use Pkg.add(“IJulia”), I get back an error like this:

Please do not send screenshots – just copy the code and put it in backticks.
Which version of Julia is this?

Are you using Julia v1?

I got a very similar error message when trying to install the Atom package.
The new package manager has a different syntax.

In REPL, start the package manager by typing ]
then type add IJulia

This worked for the Atom package in my case.

Could you run:

rm(joinpath(homedir(), ".julia", "registries"); recursive=true)

and try again?

This is a bug in Pkg that should be fixed in 1.0.1

Thank you.This is v1.0.
The error message:
ERROR: The following package names could not be resolved:

  • IJulia (not found in project, manifest or registry)
    Please specify by known name=uuid.

This really helps, thank you so much!

still after this solution ```
rm(joinpath(homedir(), “.julia”, “registries”); recursive=true)

A post was split to a new topic: Problem adding LinearAlgebra

This really solve the problem. However I met the same problem in Atom with Julia1.2.0.

Here just to confirm that for v1.1.0 this is still a bug.

i am facing the same error message when installing Diffeqpy in Julia on a littlest jupyterhub environment

AFAICT diffeqpy is python package, not a julia package

Understood. this was for the python interpretator.

Thank you so much bro!

This solution really help me
