install Pkg.checkout("name") first

[JeffreySarnoff]

My install worked with checking out the main branch before checking out the makie branch. (v0.6)

Pkg.clone("https://github.com/SimonDanisch/Makie.jl.git")
Pkg.checkout("GLAbstraction")
Pkg.checkout("GLAbstraction", "sd/makie")
Pkg.checkout("GLVisualize")
Pkg.checkout("GLVisualize", "sd/makie")

# For UV examples, e.g. earth texture on sphere, or textured cat
Pkg.checkout("MeshIO")
Pkg.checkout("MeshIO", "sd/objuv")
Pkg.checkout("GeometryTypes")

# For image loading
Pkg.add("ImageMagick")

# For precompilation
Pkg.clone("https://github.com/SimonDanisch/PackageCompiler.jl.git")
Pkg.build("PackageCompiler")
Pkg.checkout("StaticArrays")
Pkg.checkout("GLWindow")
Pkg.checkout("GLWindow", "sd/static")
Pkg.checkout("GLFW")

I don't know why this is, but if it helped you, why not include it ;)
