I’m new to the VSCode editor and have some very basic newbie questions: I just upgraded from Julia 1.5.3 to 1.6.0. Do I need to configure something in VSCode to made the editor “switch” to the newer installation? In the Getting Started guide it says: “If you have installed Julia into a standard …

[Unbenannt] Does this help? It’s easier than a wall of text to explain :wink:

Thanks, I had checked Settings but the path doesn’t appear… [julia_executable] I can still run Julia though, so it is set up somehow…

I think, it looks at the default location, so it may find another installation, not necessarily the latest version. Just configure it to your needs, add the path to your v1.6.0.

So in rereading a thread that I started back in December (when I first downloaded VSCode), I was reminded of the very helpful versioninfo() command, which produced this: julia> versioninfo() Julia Version 1.6.0 Commit f9720dc2eb (2021-03-24 12:55 UTC) Platform Info: OS: Windows (x86_64-w64-mingw3…

How exactly do I add the latest version to the PATH environment variable? Do I click “Edit in settings.json” in the box where it says “Julia: Environment Path”? When click on the edit link, the json file that opens contains a line that just says "julia.environmentPath": "" Do I just type C:\Users\…

Adding something to PATH in Windows is just way more hassle than just put it into the VSCode config. But what is it all about? It’s running 1.6.0, so all is fine, isn’t it?

Try C:\Users\Michael\AppData\Local\Programs\Julia-1.6.0\bin\julia.exe.

It is running 1.6.0 indeed. I thought it’d be good to learn how to manually specify the path inside of VSCode (just in case I need to use a different version of Julia for whatever reason…). But I may just leave things as they are for now, so as not to accidentally screw anything up :slight_smile:

So this would go in settings.json, i.e. "julia.environmentPath": "C:\Users\Michael\AppData\Local\Programs\Julia-1.6.0\bin\julia.exe" ?

Do I need to configure anything in VSCode to switch to using v1.6.0?
