I'm just starting to look at Julia (following a tutorial). I tried to do this:

using Pkg
Pkg.add("IJulia")

but the install is stuck on 99.9% and nothing is happening.

Cloning default registries into `C:\Users\Alan\.julia`
Cloning registry from "https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git"
Fetching: [========================================>]  99.9 %

Does anyone know what has gone wrong please?

Running Julia 1.4 on a Windows 10 destop PC btw.

Thank you.

Git cloning with libgit2 sometimes get stuck on Windows for some reason. You can probably just abort and try again. You might also have to delete the partial clone at ~/.julia/registries/General before trying again. If it doesn't work you can try to git clone the registry outside of Julia, e.g. something like

$ git -C ~/.julia/registries/ clone https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General
