If Jiahao's suggestion does not work, there may be a permissions issue with your home directory. In particular, we have seen this kind of error when a user's home directory is located on a managed network drive without write permission. You can get around this by setting an environment variable JULIA_PKGDIR to some local path where you have write access.
