New to julia. When I try to add a pkg via a julia prompt, the add command never returns to the command prompt in powershell. Same behavior in the default console in the windows julia install.
(v1.3) pkg> add Gadfly
Cloning default registries into `C:\Users\omort\.julia`
Cloning registry from "https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git"
Fetching: [========================================>] 99.9 %
The gadfly install docs say to hit delete to return to the prompt, but that doesn't seem to work for me.
Seems to work ok in bash on Ubuntu. What am I missing?
Following David Varela's suggestion below:
(v1.3) pkg> registry update General
[ Info: registry `General` not found.
However - running a bare registry update did push the command forward, though it errored out:
(v1.3) pkg> add Gadfly
Cloning default registries into `C:\Users\omort\.julia`
Cloning registry from "https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git"
ERROR: SystemError: opening file "C:\\Users\\omort\\.julia\\registries\\General\\Registry.toml": No such file or directory
Stacktrace:[...]
The ~/.julia directory exists, but that toml file does not.
Note: I was able to get this working effortlessly on a second Windows laptop this morning, so it's something specific to this install.
