Hello,  
I have just upgraded to Julia 1.5 from 1.4. I simply copied the new files in the old directory where I keep julia (in /home/). Although Atom is linked to the julia executable, the version does not match:

```julia
# terminal
Version 1.5.2 (2020-09-23)
# in atom
Version 1.4.1

```

Why the discrepancy? How can I sync them?  
Thank you

You have not updated the Julia Path in Atom. To do that, in Atom, go to Juno \> Settings…

In settings, the link is `/usr/bin/julia` a symbolic link to the folder where I placed the julia executables. When I run julia in terminal, this links points to 1.5.2; why does not atoms? I can’t see an option update.
