I tryied to install the Julia and i get an error

julia> ENV["JUPYTER"] = "/anaconda3/bin/jupyter" "/anaconda3/bin/jupyter"

julia> Pkg.add("IJulia") ERROR: UndefVarError: Pkg not defined Stacktrace: [1] top-level scope at none:0

This is my version of Julia: Version 1.1.0 (2019-01-21)

May be case sensitive. It looks like you used lower case j

This is what I did:

In Julia press ] to enter package manager.

julia>]

You'll see the following prompt

(v1.1) pkg>

Enter:

add "IJulia"

Press delete to exit package manager

Thanks Kris, it started to work but i get another error

(v1.1) pkg> add"Ijulia"
   Cloning default registries into `~/.julia`
   Cloning registry from "https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git"
     Added registry `General` to `~/.julia/registries/General`
ERROR: The following package names could not be resolved:
 * Ijulia (not found in project, manifest or registry)
Please specify by known `name=uuid`.

i tried to find a solution in the internet and people said that i should run this code 

rm(joinpath(homedir(), ".julia", "registries"); recursive=true)

That didn't work again, and i got this error message: 

ERROR: could not determine command

Thank you I was getting this error, which I'm adding here in case anyone else gets it:

ERROR: UndefVarError: `Pkg` not defined

but your comment worked for me.

To add a little clarification to this. The old way of installing julia add-ons (Pkg.add("IJulia")) no longer works.

Nowadays, to add a new package, you would first hit ']'. That should cause you to get a new prompt that says pkg>.

Next you can install it by saying:

add IJulia

I believe the most recent problem was because the user typed add "Ijulia" instead of ```add "IJulia". The package names are case sensitive.
