Hi. I am having problems installing ZMQ when I try to install IJulia.
I am using ArchLinux in WSL2 on Win10 version 19041, julia version 1.3.1.
Servel weeks ago I have successfully installed IJulia. For some reason I have to reinstall but get this error:
(v1.3) pkg\> add IJulia
Updating registry at `~/.julia/registries/General`
Updating git-repo `https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git`

I deleted ~/.julia and retry but get the same error.
Thank you for your help!

I have solved it myself, it’s a proxy problem

How did you solve it? I have the same problem on Windows 7

Just use a proxy, caution that socks5 is not supported by libgit2

Because I live in China, a proxy is needed to get full speed access to github and [s3.amazon.com](http://s3.amazon.com), I set up a shadowsocksR in windows host and access the network behind it in wsl. I just set $http\_proxy and $https\_proxy to http://$win\_host:8128/ and the problem solved, where 8128 is the port my ssr listening to, the default may be 1080.
If you are using wsl2 too, you may get the windows host by running
`cat /etc/resolv.conf | grep nameserver | awk '{print $2}'`
If you are using wsl1, simply use 127.0.0.1
Could you tell me the detail of your environment, may be you have a different problem form me.

I solved it in the only way I’m capable of, I copied “.julia” from a computer that was working and pasted in the one that wasn’t.
Thanks for your help anyway.
