Hi I got the same problem when I tried to pkg add LinerAlgebra

import Pkg
Pkg.add(“LinerAlgebra”)

Then I tried rm(joinpath(homedir(), “.julia”, “registries”); recursive=true)

And it fetched a bit more but still didn’t work.

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

I’ve split this off into its own post since it’s unrelated to the other topic.

You don’t need to add LinearAlgebra to use it as it’s a standard library, but note the spelling — it’s using LinearAlgebra not LinerAlgebra.

Hey mbauman thanks for your help. I realize the problem right after I posted it…
I think my problem was that normally when there is no such package, then the error will return no such package then I realize something’s wrong with the package name.
But here it was fetching… and fetching more so I never thought about the package name…

But It’s such stupid mistake. Maybe you can delete this post…
