Dear all,

how can I install the packages in GitHub .  
For example, I want to add “DataFramesMeta”(dev version) .  
If I run `] add DataFramesMeta`, it always add the version 0.7.1.

When I use the macro @subset. It always gets an error.

```julia
julia> using Statistics

julia> df = DataFrame(x = [1, 1, 2, 2], y = [1, 2, 101, 102]);

julia> gd = groupby(df, :x);

julia> outside_var = 1;

julia> @subset(df, :x .> 1)
ERROR: LoadError: UndefVarError: @subset not defined
in expression starting at none:1

```

I think it is the question of DataFramesMeta version.

When I add DataFramesMeta.jl to a clean environment, I get v0.11.0. I’d suggest trying to update your packages to the latest versions with `] up` or adding an explicit version of DataFramesMeta using `] add DataFramesMeta@0.11.0` to see if you can work out which of your current dependencies is preventing you from getting a more recent version of it.

Looks like you need a newer version of ModelContructors that works with a newer version of DataFrames. Looking in GitHub, the current development version of ModelConstructors should work with the latest version of DataFrames, so you can do `] add ModelConstructors#main` to get the development version.
