Julia adding package from github

I want to install the following package from github. I tried using the following command in my environment to install

(nlpEnvJl) pkg> add "https://github.com/yeesian/LeafletJS.jl/tree/master/src"

But I get the following error,

ERROR: could not find project file in package at https://github.com/yeesian/LeafletJS.jl maybe subdir needs to be specified

Any ideas on how I can get installed? Do I have to clone it first to my local repo? If so how do I install from local path?

Cheers Thanks in advance

You do not need to install locally, but you have to put the URL official to clone it.

add https://github.com/yeesian/LeafletJS.jl.git

Sometimes, if the package is already registered and you only want the main version in github you can directly do

add PackageName#main

You have to clone it locally and then use Pkg.generate in order to import it as a package. It needs a Project.toml file to be added.

Thus, you have to:

$ git clone [email protected]:yeesian/LeafletJS.jl.git
