The package **FowardDiff.jl** could not load because it failed to initialize

General Usage
1

The package FowardDiff.jl could not load because it failed to initialize.

That’s not nice! Things you could try:

*** Restart the notebook.**
*** Try a different Julia version.**
*** Contact the developers of FowardDiff.jl about this error.**

You might find useful information in the package installation log:

Please could you help me?

Assuming the notebook is Pluto from the message and if this is an easier issue, try ForwardDiff with that exact spelling instead of FowardDiff first.

Thanks and sorry, I read it a thousand times and did not see it. :sweat_smile:

Happens to all of us. Julia’s builtin Pkg does throw an error informing us that our added registries have no such name, even gives some good suggestions:

(@v1.11) pkg> add FowardDiff
    Updating registry at `C:\Users\Benny\.julia\registries\General.toml`
ERROR: The following package names could not be resolved:
 * FowardDiff (not found in project, manifest or registry)
   Suggestions: ForwardDiff ForwardDiff2 Fourdfp FiniteDiff CamiDiff ForwardDiffPullbacks PolyesterForwardDiff

But Pluto’s own error message obscures that and gives the other possible reasons and suggestions instead.
