Can't instantiate project

[kharazity]

Trying to learn Yao, I've cloned this repo and ran: julia --project -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.instantiate()' . This returns a type error:

Any suggestions? Is this related to #8 ?

Ah sorry yeah I'm converting the tutorials to Pluto notebooks gimme one sec to fix this

[Roger-luo]

so it seems to work fine for me however, which Julia version are you using?

[kharazity]

Julia 1.4

hmm interesting is your local repo update to the current master? if you haven't try

git pull

on the other hand, maybe just install a newer version of Julia.

[Roger-luo]

I just installed julia-1.4 on my machine, it seems to work fine however.

Just pulled, there seems to have been an update to the manifest.toml file since cloning yesterday. I seem to get a different build error now unfortunately:

It seems to be a GR issue. I'm wondering what if you open your Julia REPL and type ]add GR?

[kharazity]

Yep, that's it! Thanks!
