(ql:quickload :plot/vega) isn't working for me with the latest quicklisp dist, what am I doing wrong

Quicklisp ships releases once a month (think Debian releases instead of npm), so it is very possible it didn't pick the latest release yet.

Your solution is to clone the repository into ~/quicklisp/local-projects/.

Another one would be to use the Ultralisp distribution, that ships every five minutes. https://ultralisp.org/

(ql-dist:install-dist "http://dist.ultralisp.org/" :prompt nil)

and now you could quickload plot/vega, except we must ask the author to add it, it takes a couple mouse clicks.

I gave this a try but still ran into issues. First it was a missing file, description.text, so I created a temporary one, but have not been able to figure it out after going through all of the different possibilities on the web site and github.

I am going to keep an eye on this project because I would really like to be able to work on this. Hopefully updates in a month or so will get things in sync.

Glad it is not just me. I did a clean install and follow the examples on the web site step by step:

debugger invoked on a QUICKLISP-CLIENT:SYSTEM-NOT-FOUND in thread #<THREAD "main thread" RUNNING {1004BF80A3}>: System "plot/vega" not found
