Maybe you have already homebrew on your Mac. On a system with homebrew and without Julia you just call `brew cask install julia` once to install Julia. After that a simple `brew update` followed by `brew cask upgrade` suffices to get new Julia versions (a new version may not be available the same day it is published by the Julia team; but usually the homebrew repository lags at most a few days behind).

If you do not know homebrew, it’s a package manager for MacOS (a bit like apt for Debian/Ubuntu or chocolately for Windows). The homepage is [https://brew.sh/](https://brew.sh/)

Another option may be [JILL](https://github.com/abelsiqueira/jill) (I just read about it in another [thread](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/unable-to-add-packages-in-v1-2/27857/4)).
