If I have launched Julia with:

```julia
julia --project

```

I can find out the packages of the project with:

```julia
using Pkg
keys(Pkg.project().dependencies)

```

But how can I find out which packages are installed globally?

This should work:

```julia
let projectpath = Pkg.project().path
    basepath, _ = splitdir(projectpath)
    Pkg.activate()
    globaldependencies = keys(Pkg.project().dependencies)
    Pkg.activate(basepath)
    globaldependencies
end

```

But also notice:

```julia
help?> Pkg.project
  Pkg.project()::ProjectInfo

  This feature is considered experimental.
  ...

```
