Hi @ahjulstad I had the same problem, I was able to bypass by downloading the repository and add it manually on my Julia environment with "]dev path" where the path is the directory with the GenieBuilder.jl.

Same problem here.
@DiracM can you give more details please? How did you add it manually? Where have you put "]dev path"? How to find the GenieBuilder.jl?

I have the same issue.

Julia 1.9.4 macOS Sonoma fresh install, server doesn't start in VSCode, attempting to use in REPL didn't help

using GenieBuilder julia> GenieBuilder.create() ERROR: UndefVarError:createnot defined Stacktrace: [1] getproperty(x::Module, f::Symbol) @ Base ./Base.jl:31 [2] top-level scope @ REPL[19]:1
after activating in new folder. Don't know where to go from here.

I no longer have this problem after a fresh installation but the steps that I took was:

1. Download the GitHub repository as a .zip
2. Extract it to a path as for example "C:\GenieBuilder"
3. Open Julia and type "]dev C:\GenieBuilder" to enter the package mode and add the new directory to the environment
4. Hopefully the package should be now detected when you try to open Genie Builder

@technocrat did you find the solution? I have the same issue, don't know how to proceed.

Nope. I've set it aside because life is just too short, especially at my advanced age.
