### Pkg mode

The Package manager mode accepts specialized commands for loading and updating packages. It is entered
by pressing the `]` key at the Julian REPL prompt and exited by pressing CTRL-C or pressing the backspace key
at the beginning of the line. The prompt for this mode is `pkg>`. It supports its own help-mode, which is
entered by pressing `?` at the beginning of the line of the `pkg>` prompt. The Package manager mode is
documented in the Pkg manual, available at [https://julialang.github.io/Pkg.jl/v1/](https://julialang.github.io/Pkg.jl/v1/).
