Getting beta2 from juliaup

General Usage

…takes the following steps

  1. juliaup update (to actually get beta2 listed)
  2. juliaup add beta

That step 1 was required surprised me. Even more strange, this was required on one of my windows computers, not on the other.

Note, juliaup update updates all the channels that are seen to have available update. So if, as myself you have nightly channel, it will also update it.

Personally, I do juliaup self update which updates only the juliaup binary (if it needs it) and the channel status file, then I do juliaup update 1.13 (that I have added some time ago, and which also includes beta)

Hope that helps,

Yes, it helps. Thanks. Maybe I missed reading some of the instructions. Perhaps.
