Why are there several independent folders inside of the package folder installed?

Hi, following this tutorial, OpenStreetMapX_tutorial, I’m calculating the route between two given points using OSM data. The following is the code.

using OpenStreetMapX

md = get_map_data("s400.osm", only_intersections = false)

loc1 = LLA( 64.47650462217807, 24.598919372616486 )

loc2 = LLA( 64.75335912990957, 20.99776468754424 )

a=point_to_nodes(loc1,md)
b=point_to_nodes(loc2,md)

shortest_route(md,a,b)

However, the very last line of code does not work. I got the following error message.

ERROR: MethodError: no method matching #dijkstra_shortest_paths#104(::Bool, ::Bool, ::typeof(LightGraphs.dijkstra_shortest_paths), ::LightGraphs.SimpleGraphs.SimpleDiGraph{Int64}, ::Array{Int64,1}, ::Array{Tuple{Int64,Int64},1})

After checking the OpenStreetMapX folder from the packages folder of julia home directory, I found out it has at least three folders. One of which is Vi27g, which contains the src folder for source code of OpenStreetMapX. I’m confused about the error message above and also confused about why there being at least three folders like that.

Why are there several independent folders inside of the package folder installed?

These represent different versions of the same package. So you must have (had) different environments that use different versions of the package. You can use ] gc to delete package versions that aren’t used anymore.
