Hi All!  
I’m novice user. I tried to install “AbstractAlgebra” on julia version 1.0.2.  
I followed instaruction but got:

julia\> Pkg.add(“AbstractAlgebra”)

The same problem with Nano:

Thank you in advance

I don’t think this is related to AbstractAlgebra or Nemo. Looks more like a problem related to the package manager. What is the output of `Pkg.status()`?

Thank you!  
Later at night I accidentally found solution:  
Pkg.add(“SparseArrays”)
