When I tried to add CairoMakie, I got this warning:

```julia
Warning: downloading texture atlas failed, need to re-create from scratch.
│ │ exception =
│ │ RequestError: HTTP/2 302 (Failed to connect to objects.githubusercontent.com port 443 after 30005 ms: Timeout was reached) while requesting https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/releases/download/v0.21.0/v7_texture_atlas_2048_64.bin

```

But I still can use CairoMakie in Julia.  
What is `texture atlas` ? Do I need to install it individually?

The texture atlas is just a cache of textures for text rendering etc., it can be downloaded to save time but if the download doesn’t work, Makie just regenerates it itself. Although it’s not actually needed for CairoMakie anyway, just the GL backends
