I love using Julia and want to use it on work. But my company blocks access to most Github repositories. Moreover, when I install Julia, I do not even get the general registry - probably some other website blocked. And even if I did, I can’t be sure Julia would succeed in cloning the Github reposito…

There was some work detailed here on a portable Julia but IIRC it requires internet access [image] Portable Julia General Usage I noticed that a portable Julia is now available for the Windows platform. I think this might lead to a Julia-on-a-stick, but a little bit more…

Could you possibly download libraries at home and then basically carry the .julia folder around?

I mean of course I can, but would Julia work as usual on the new PC??

True, the initial install needs access to the general registry. But one could init the env on one machine, and then copy the whole thing (Julia, depot, accessories) to a machine w/o internet access. I haven’t actually tested this though.

If you are on a corporate PC, I’m taking a guess you use windows. You can try Juliawin: GitHub - heetbeet/juliawin: A portable Julia for Windows, bundled with VSCode, Pluto, Conda & PyCall, and more.
