I’m new to Julia so please be patient with me.
I tried to install the SQLite package by running the Julia repl using Pkg add SQLite. Unfortunately the repl crashes:
Before I’m getting lots of errors: ‘unknown line …’, ‘unknown function …’ etc.
‘julia’ terminated by signal SIGSEGV.
I guess I’m doing something wrong. But what?
Please help

ehhh… you enter REPL, you hit `]` and then type `add SQLite` then hit key, what happens?
