I have a problem with installing binaries wrappers (Sundials\_jll or MPICH\_jll when trying to install PETSc or ), whether I am installing it from an URL or from a local path after downloading the repo manually.

My current guess is that it has something to do with the company preventing the installation of binaries, since it works on my laptop at home.

Whether I install it locally from the cloned repo or not doesn’t help too

This sounds similar to this thread:

> [@Unable to automatically install 'OpenSpecFun' when trying to add 'Symbolics'](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/unable-to-automatically-install-openspecfun-when-trying-to-add-symbolics/60950):

> The problem is very much related to [this one](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/ijulia-install-stops-for-mbedtls-error/37974) and [this one](https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/BinaryBuilder.jl/issues/527), so I suppose it’s also a good idea to try to poke @giordano. TLDR: When trying to install Symbolics I get the following error: ERROR: Unable to automatically install 'OpenSpecFun' from '/home/myusername/.julia/packages/OpenSpecFun\_jll/Xw8XK/Artifacts.toml' More details: I am using Julia 1.4.2 (installed with [jill](https://github.com/abelsiqueira/jill)) on a Linux (Debian) machine via remote access using SSH: Julia Version 1.4.2 Commit 44fa15b150\* (2020-05-23 18:35 UTC) …

Some of the checks and solutions might apply to your situation.
