As a new Julia binary, new environment. OK.  
But how can reinstall all my already old packages? One by one?  
Thanks!

That was my first idea;) But maybe `Pkg.instantiate` on some high level packages helps. BTW are you using local environments?

You can copy `.julia/environments/v1.6/Project.toml` to `.julia/environments/v1.7/Project.toml` and run `import Pkg; Pkg.instantiate()`. You might have to delete an existing `Manifest.toml` in `.julia/environments/v1.7/Manifest.toml` first.
