I am looking for some brave Windows users that are willing to test drive a new installer for Julia on Windows that is called Juliaup. Juliaup is a new Julia version manager for Windows that is distributed via the Windows Store and manages your Julia installation on Windows. Juliaup makes it easy to…

Yes, exactly! And that whole part is actually handled by the MSIX installer engine that ships with Windows 10, the way we hook into this is that we just declare that we want something to appear on the path in this line in the setup program.

Haha, fair point, although it was true as well for regular Juno without JuliaPro, which I guess is what most people use in practice. I guess I wanted to point out that a significant part of the Julia userbase is used to (or has unknowingly accepted) the fact that the “official” Julia IDE runs on mul…

Oh, sorry, I completely missed the context of your comment, I was thinking that you were talking about something entirely different (namely bundling a lot of software together) :slight_smile:

Oh OK, thanks for the clarification @oheil ! I was actually looking for “julia” somewhere in the path so completely missed that… And you were right @davidanthoff , it was indeed a path I had entered manually (which I assumed would be gone when I uninstalled the extension). Everything works like a char…

Is there a way to include git bash in this kind of setup? Julia without git would not help me.

With Juliaup there is now only one single big Julia app in Win10 showing in the list of installed programs, with possibly many versions encapsulated inside it. In snapshot below, Julia 1.6.1 was the legacy installation, while Juliaup’s installed “Julia” containing in this case 2 versions after upda…

[image] rafael.guerra: Assume that hobby Julia users can safely remove the different installations of Julia and work from now on with Juliaup only? Yes, that is correct, if you use the Juliaup story you’ll only have one entry in the list of installed programs and can uninstall all the other J…

I should mention one other caveat: if you uninstall Juliaup, it won’t uninstall the Julia versions that you installed using juliaup, i.e. all of those Julia versions will stay around in ~/.julia/juliaup! In a way this is now similar to the situation with packages and artifacts that you install using…
