@Rohan I did a manual install, on linux it’s really easy
- download Generic Linux Binaries for x86 (julia-1.0.2-linux-x86_64.tar.gz)
- uncompress it, that created the directory julia-1.0.2
- put a symbolic link to julia-1.0.2/bin/julia in my local bin
- the first time i ran it, it made a .julia directory in my user directory and populated it
- the first time I added a package it populated .julia/registries/General
