Good evening,
I had Julia 1.2.0 running with IJulia. Now I tried updating to 1.3.1
After installing 1.3.1 I tried to add IJulia, but it fails. Complete fresh installs also do not help. I also cannot reinstall 1.2.0 with IJulia.
Reading various topics about this topic and experimenting with the ideas mentioned did not help. This is what I get:

You could try to update powershell.
And this thread seems to have the same error message:

It seems the problem is here: # Download and install binaries install(url, tarball\_hash; prefix=prefix, force=true, verbose=verbose) For example, I tried to write the path directly to the install method install(tarball\_path="/Users/davidbuchaca1/.julia/packages/ZMQ/ABGOx/deps/usr/downloads/ZMQ.x86\_64-apple-darwin14.tar", force=true, verbose=verbose) but the met…

Thanks @oheil for the given indications. They did not help, unfortunately.
However meanwhile everything went through.I have played with all sorts of indications and reinstalled again and again, even manualy cleaning the rest of the old installations, doing a reboot every cycle. Suddenly it went through, no more errors.
As far I have identified the problem now, it was the availibilty of this resource:
[[https://github.com/JuliaInterop/ZMQBuilder/releases/download/v4.2.5+6/ZMQ.x86\_64-w64-mingw32.tar.gz](https://github.com/JuliaInterop/ZMQBuilder/releases/download/v4.2.5+6/ZMQ.x86_64-w64-mingw32.tar.gz)]
This morning it gave me a 404 now it is available (again).
