I installed StaticArrays on Version 0.7.0-DEV.5216 (2018-05-24 18:04 UTC),  
using the new package manager.

While the installation seams to work, using it fails:

```julia

Any idea?

I actually also tried the suggestion:

```julia
`Pkg.add("Pkg")`

```

But it did not help.

Try to get the master, I assume `Pkg.checkout` still works. You might also need the master version of other packages (test them one by one as they appear in the error message). Otherwise look at issues on github, a lot of packages are still WIP on v0.7.

This issue in particular is due to very recent changes in Julia 0.7, see [Rename Pkg → OldPkg, Pkg3 → Pkg](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/27095). Things are temporarily a bit more unstable than they usually are even for a DEV version.

You could use the fork of Compat.jl that Kristoffer mentions in the PR, or if you’re not doing development work on Julia itself, perhaps you could go with a 0.7 build that’s a few days older, at least until things settle down with these Pkg changes.

Well, I just want to learn how to use the new package manager. So I guess I rather wait a little bit. 🙂

Everything should be working fine now. Some people have had problems for some reason when they had old registries so try `rm -r ~/.julia/registries/Uncurated` and then `pkg> up`.

For example:

```julia
(Pkg) pkg> add StaticArrays
  Updating registry at `~/.julia/registries/Uncurated`
  Updating git-repo `https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/Uncurated.git`
 Resolving package versions...
  Updating `Project.toml`
  [90137ffa] + StaticArrays v0.7.0

Will future Pkg version work without this hack?
