there is no package with name "QL". while installing clisp

Question

I'm trying to install lisp in my laptop by following the instruction command and steps that is suggested this site : https://grishagin.com/lisp/windows10/2017/01/26/install-lisp-Windows10.html. I have done following steps :

I've extract emacs in my specified directory and add it's bin path to the system variable PATH
I've created a another new directory named C:\HOME and add it system variable with variable HOME and value C:\HOME
Clisp 2.48 is installed in my lisp directory and To fix some problem, copied svm.dll out of clisp- 2.48/libsvm directory into clisp-2.48/full.
Place quicklisp.lisp into lisp directory and run following code in clisp

(load "C:/lisp/quicklisp.lisp"), (quicklisp-quickstart:install :path "C:/lisp/quicklisp/")

this two command worked but when i go from next command : (ql:add-to-init-file) It shows this error :- READ from #<INPUT CONCATENATED-STREAM # #>: there is no package with name "QL".

Can anyone please help to solve this error and explain how does this all help for lisp to keep working?

Did you run all the Lisp code in the same image, or did you restart it between runs? It will only work if you don't restart it during the process. — , Aug 03 '20 at 17:04
I think you need to provide a transcript from the clisp run then, as I don't see how this can happen. — , Aug 04 '20 at 09:55
Is there any steps wrong in instruction that is suggested in that website? @tbf — Nervous Hero, Aug 04 '20 at 10:38
I've never installed Quicklisp on Windows (or run clisp on windows) but it looks fine. — , Aug 04 '20 at 11:31
Problem occurs while this command is run (quicklisp-quickstart:install :path "C:/lisp/quicklisp/") . The error shows connection time out. — Nervous Hero, Aug 04 '20 at 13:15
Well, there you go, you've answered the question! Fix the timeout and it will work. — , Aug 04 '20 at 13:18
I have no idea: it's something to do with the networking configuration of your machine or perhaps the network between it and whatever QL talks to. — , Aug 04 '20 at 13:40

So, in the QuickLisp installation instructions, it says:

(quicklisp-quickstart:install)

But you include an optional parameter :path "C:/lisp/quicklisp/"

Try it again, without the optional parameter, and see if that works better.

I have already fix that bug. It was due to connection time out. – Nervous Hero Aug 21 '20 at 18:20
