I just noticed your sig... in a regulated environment I guess it is not surprising if github is specifically filtered. Various ideas:
- git probably does not pick up Windows proxy server settings automatically (whereas your web browser would). if you access the internet through a proxy server, try configuring git to use it: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/783811/getting-git-to-work-with-a-proxy-server - It might be possible to run Windows Julia on your Mac under wine, install the packages, and then copy the resulting folder to the firewalled system. Haven't tried this myself. - Find an external Windows system on which to run the installations, and then copy everything to the internal system. Possibly EC2 or similar cloud service will let you run a small instance for free for some period of time (I haven't looked recently).
