Although these are not questions asked to me, since I'm having the same issues please allow me to respond so that we all understand the problem better.
I downloaded the 64-bit Julia + Juno IDE bundle to run on a windows 10 laptop. Since I'm a new user I don't have previous version of Julia installed. After running the installer all I ran was 'Pkg.status()' and 'Pkg.update()' and the error message pops up. Running 'Pkg.update()' in the Julia terminal gives the same result. Also I was trying the chmod command, but didn't know what option to choose for 'chmod'.
