I want to add ‘Genie’ package, but there was an error:

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

```

And, when i tried to update registries, another error occurred:

```julia
(@v1.5) pkg> up
   Updating registry at `C:\Users\username\.julia\registries\JuliaComputingRegistry`
ERROR: expected package `Debugger [31a5f54b]` to be registered

```

my installed packages list:

```julia

In you registries folder, `C:\Users\username\.julia\registries\`, do you have `General`? Genie and Debugger are both in the General registry and it looks like you possibly don’t have it installed for some reason (not sure why, it should be automatic, but possibly because the JuliaComputingRegistry was there first?)

You can also check registry status with

```julia
pkg> registry st
Registry Status
 [23338594] General (https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git)

```

If you don’t have the general registry installed, you can add with

```julia
pkg> registry add https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General
   Cloning registry from "https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General"
     Added registry `General` to `~/.julia/registries/General`

```

(Note, both of those are using the package manager, which can be accessed by pressing `]` from the normal Julia REPL.)

See [7. Registries · Pkg.jl](https://julialang.github.io/Pkg.jl/v1.5/registries/) for more information on registries.

If the problem persists, try to delete and reinstall the registry with

```julia
]registry rm General
registry add General

```
