That link got me on the right track, thank you. For others/future reference: In the provided link from Jake it uses the first line below in the code block. This wasn't enough for me to authenticate through the proxy server, so I included lines 2 & 3 as well.
C:\Program Files\JuliaLang\julia-e44b593905\Git\cmd>git config --global url. "https://github.com/".insteadOf git://github.com/ C:\Program Files\JuliaLang\julia-e44b593905\Git\cmd>git config --global http .proxy http://<proxyuser>:<proxypwd>@proxy.server.com:8080 C:\Program Files\JuliaLang\julia-e44b593905\Git\cmd>git config --globalhttps .proxy http://<proxyuser>:<proxypwd>@proxy.server.com:8080 - Lines 2 & 3 above came from StackOverflow<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/783811/getting-git-to-work-with-a-proxy-server> . - If you have special characters in your password be sure to replace the character with the URL encoding, you can use this list<http://www.degraeve.com/reference/urlencoding.php> . - You can find out your proxy server address by the following: - Open Internet Explorer - "Tools" menu - "Internet Options..." - "Connections" tab - "LAN Settings" button - There will be either a: - Proxy server address and port number -> which you can just copy - An address for a proxy script -> Copy and paste this address into the address bar of your web browser to download the script. Open the script with something like Notepad and look for a reference such as return "PROXY proxy.server:80" and use this in lines 2 & 3 above On Monday, 31 March 2014 13:10:21 UTC+11, Jake Bolewski wrote: > > Does this solution not work? > https://groups.google.com/d/msg/julia-users/KgIJpGeKros/sR5Ea8_UlIIJ > > On Sunday, March 30, 2014 9:41:15 PM UTC-4, Adrian Torrie wrote: >> >> >> I'm not sure how to configure julia/git to pull down packages through a >> network proxy (at my workplace) so the package can get installed.
