Package dependencies are currently not consistent #149

The package can currently not be installed and used by just running something like add https://github.com/ACEsuit/ACE.jl, since the deps can't be resolved. The issue appears to specifically be that ACEbase.jl was not tagged at the requested version 0.2.4, so ACE can't install that. A git savvy user can run something like 

]add https://github.com/ACEsuit/ACEbase.jl#3127b688f41cdd14247f8db5c8e4f531e31dc761

to add the specific commit at which ACEbase was 0.2.4 and then everything works fine but that seems convoluted for a typical user.

ACE also doesn't currently seem compatible with ACEbase 0.4+ so a simple dependency bump doesn't appear to be an option, would take some work.

I see that ACE has its own registry at https://github.com/ACEsuit/ACEregistry, it works when using that rather than the Julia registry. Is that the intended way to use this package? If so, the readme for this package should probably alert to the non-default registry. There is mention of another registry in the docs, though.

This issue occurs on the Julia registry, which I am not sure is intended to be supported?

Yes - please use only the ACE registry
