I have been trying to install a package in IJulia, but I get the following error:

Using Pkg
Pkg.add(“CVS”)

Installing known registries into ~/.julia

I can’t say why the registry download failed but your copy of the registry is definitely damaged. I would recommend first removing the /Users/Matt/.julia/registries/General folder entirely and trying to add the package again. If you run into the same error once more, it’s time to dig deeper or try to find a workaround.
