Good catch!
# in git bash $ echo $HOME /c/Users/Tomas Lycken # in Julia 0.4 julia> ENV["HOME"] ERROR: KeyError: HOME not found in getindex at env.jl:37 julia> ENV["HOME"] = "C:\\Users\\Tomas\ Lycken\\" "C:\\Users\\Tomas Lycken\\" julia> Pkg.update() INFO: Updating METADATA... INFO: Updating Benchmarks... INFO: Updating DualNumbers... INFO: Updating LightGraphs... INFO: Updating Contour... INFO: Updating Interpolations... INFO: Updating ZMQ... INFO: Computing changes... INFO: No packages to install, update or remove So, ENV["HOME"] wasn’t set, and setting it fixed this. I assume it’s a bug that it wasn’t set? // T On Wednesday, October 14, 2015 at 5:59:51 PM UTC+2, Tony Kelman wrote: I'm not sure. When you run in git-bash, is the environment variable HOME > set?
