EDIT: You also need to set the executablePath setting to explicitly point to juliaup, e.g. `"julia.executablePath": "/Users/fred/.juliaup/bin/julia",`

As of Dec 2024, there’s a much easier way to do this. Simply run `juliaup override set 1.9` in your directory and then the `julia` command will use version 1.9 when run from that directory, regardless of how you start julia.
