Downgrade to DifferentialEquations v6.0 in Julia

Question

How can I downgrade the DifferentialEquations package to version 6.0 (or earlier), such that all depending packages also downgrade if they require a version that is > 6.0?

Answer 1

Just ask the package manager to do so with an add [email protected] at the pkg> prompt. It'll automatically handle the dependencies. Remember, you can enter the package manager prompt by typing ] at the REPL. Here's an example from me doing so in an active project of mine with lots of dependencies installed:
