This usually happens because you have a version of a packing that is not compatible with another package.

For instance, if you look at the `Project.toml` for Makie.jl you’ll see:

```julia
AbstractPlotting = "0.14"
FileIO = "1.1"
GLMakie = "0.1.18"
julia = "1.3"

```

This tells you specifically which versions the creators have declared compatible. You may have other packages that have different restrictions, thus leading to the unsatisfiable requirements.

You could either find the issue where this happens and see if the developer of one of packages could upgrade their compat section to eliminate the issue you are facing. Alternately, you could create a new Julia environment for the project you will be using Makie with and only add the packages you need (assuming the offending one is not on that list).
