1.I’m using julia 1.6.3 as my jupyternote kernel.
2.I was learning Linear Algebra on [juliaacademy.com](http://juliaacademy.com) .[https://juliaacademy.com/courses/937702/lectures/17339511](https://juliaacademy.com/courses/937702/lectures/17339511)
3.i got the problem below
4.i have been add and resolve those package again and again but it seems endless.

1. i hope to solve this problem at once.

The error messaging clearly need improving here, but it appears the problem is that you need to “instantiate”, i.e. install all the packages from, the environment in that repo.
In normal julia run
```julia
pkg> activate /path/to/DataScience
pkg> instantiate
```
or from a Jupyter notebook
```julia
import Pkg
Pkg.activate("/path/to/DataScience")
Pkg.instantiate()
```
@logankilpatrick I see there’s a how to install youtube video, but perhaps the repo readme needs something like above? Though, I’ve only taken a quick look, so may have missed instructions
Edit: Attempts to improve the error messaging → [https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/42822](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/42822)
