I just installed Julia, but its so difficult to use packages, I am about to freak out. always have errors of different kind. just wont work
can anyone help me a little,there is no one around me who use julia, i really exited about the language but its been so hard to handle these errors.
coundt simply install Plots, first its fail to update regerstry, then its request errors, am i alone here?
i am new to programming, please help, how should i solve these? i really want to continue.
It looks like Julia canāt connect to the package server. Are you sure you had internet connection when you did this operation? Are you perhaps behind a firewall which blocks all Julia traffic?

@hanchend Please do not give up! Everyone where is very friendly and we will help.
So a couple of questions:
You are running Julia as Administrator? Do you not have a personal account?
Do you know what the proxy setup is on your network?
Can you do operations such as command line git clones from github?

On line 3:
āFailed to connect to pkgā¦ā
it means your internet connection is either not stable / out of quota / very slow.
Another possible way perhaps the server is down for a moment.
Donāt give up, everyone here is very friendly and we are open to newbie, I ask a lot here, and get the answer that I need >95% of the time.
I just start using Julia this year actually on Juneā¦ and my first topic here is asking how is Julia vs Trilinosā¦ silly question now that I look back on itā¦
Remember known knowledge is because people only learn sooner, no one is smarter, thatās the words I always remember to stay humble and on the ground.

No one around me use Julia as wellā¦ but it will not stop you I believeā¦
You can watch JuliaCon and read books on Julia or online tutorial like this:

Depends on what you need, if you are student of Physics you might need another package related to Physics, with related tutorial.

I have been to Chengdu, China to see Panda thereā¦ I know they blocking social media from US when I went there canāt use google, etc. Maybe thatās why. Some locals use VPN to trick the Chinaā firewallā¦ It is the countryā regulationā¦ blocking foreign information and perhaps even form server that containing Juliaā pacakgesā¦
well you know to be honest, been through a lot and I believe people are unique, some have their own imagination, some are practical, some just donāt care of anything, for example I read Isaac Newtonā wikipedia and read that he is autist, but could create such a breakthroughā¦ Donāt be discouraged, this discourse is really nice, I have been to another mailing list, this is one of the nicestā¦ never get bad words hereā¦ if you donāt know just ask, if someone call you stupid or mock you then it is mirroring to themselves. As I said, those know only learn sooner and comprehend soonerā¦ not smarter.
Another example, Thomas Alfa Edison was mocked idiot by his teacher thus come home crying and do home schooling the result? General Electricā¦
another one, a current billionaire who was bullied in his childhood thus bleeding and now the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX.
I believe in karma and spiritualityā¦ well not for everyone, life is a journeyā¦
It looks like the JuliaCN Discourse has a good reference for this: Julia PkgServer éåęå”åéåē«ē“¢å¼ - åŗēå®č£ åä½æēØ - Juliaäøęē¤¾åŗ
