Please format your post, it is hard to read. See [Please read: make it easier to help you](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/please-read-make-it-easier-to-help-you/14757)

The relevant part seems to be:

```julia
ERROR: Unable to automatically download/install artifact ‘CUDA_Runtime’ from sources listed in ‘/bask/homes/a/allsoppj/.julia/packages/CUDA_Runtime_jll/rcOoh/Artifacts.toml’.
Sources attempted:

    https://pkg.julialang.org/artifact/c0e6b8fff2621303ace1cc360b7fca676b4e28fd
    Error: AssertionError: size == padded_size == 0
    https://github.com/JuliaBinaryWrappers/CUDA_Runtime_jll.jl/releases/download/CUDA_Runtime-v0.11.1+0/CUDA_Runtime.v0.11.1.x86_64-linux-gnu-cuda+12.3.tar.gz
    Error: AssertionError: size == padded_size == 0

```

… which is a bad error ([AssertionError when extracting tarball · Issue #80 · JuliaIO/Tar.jl · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaIO/Tar.jl/issues/80)) indicating that the download failed. Please verify you have a working internet connection and that you can download those files from within the environmentl
