Trouble Installing Oceananigans

[kenflat2]

If I start with an empty Julia environment and run

add Oceananigans

I get the following error:

If I start again from an empty project and run

add KernelAbstractions

it installs fine. Adding Oceananigans leads to the same error as above.

[kenflat2]

Using any version earlier than the present one fixes the issue (such as v0.95.11). But, a warning of a circular dependence which includes KernelAbstractions is thrown.

[glwagner]

Can you format your code with triple backticks? (```)

[glwagner]

I suggest moving this to a discussion because it is unlikely to be an issue with source code... however, solving this may have important lessons for others so it would be nice to have a more persistent discussion open.

I think the first question is what version of Julia? Try using 1.10.8.

[kenflat2]

I am running 1.10.4 right now.

[glwagner]

I don't think that will work. You will likely need to upgrade to 1.10.8.

[kenflat2]

Upgrading to 1.10.8 fixed the problem.

[glwagner]

Excellent! I'll convert this to a discussion so others can find it
