I’m using Julia 1.6 right now and am wondering if I should upgrade to Julia 1.7. Any advice is appreciated. BTW, how do I upgrade to 1.7? If I have to delete my current Julia 1.6 folder before installing Julia 1.7, would I have to reinstall all the packages? Do I need to do anything to my Jupiter …

Your installed packages are separate from your Julia versions. There is the default @v1.6 environment, and the default @v1.7 env will be empty at first. So if you want to have the same packages in 1.7 you can just copy the project.toml and manifest.toml from the 1.6 to the 1.7 env. The environments …

[image] jules: you can just copy the project.toml and manifest.toml from the 1.6 to the 1.7 env. I’d recommend against copying the manifest file though, that’s very julia-version-specific

You shouldn’t delete anything. When you ask Pkg to add packages in the 1.7 environment, it can share things already downloaded if they happen to be compatible with the new version. I think.

Many thanks! Glad to hear that Julia 1.7 is trouble free so far and to learn how the packages in Julia 1.7 will be installed. Would you mind sharing the steps as to how to upgrade to 1.7? I have a Mac OS. so I will download the dmg file and install it into the Applications folder? How to configure…

I use Linux, so somebody who uses macOS would be able to give you a more definitive answer. But you should be able to install 1.7 the same way you installed the previous versions. Don’t worry about having more than one version installed, because Julia keeps track of your environments and packages in…

Installation of Julia 1.7 is complete. I look forward to hearing how to configure my Atom/Juno Editor and Juypter.

For IJulia, just do ] build IJulia at the Repl. For Juno, the path to Julia is in the settings. By default it is empty which means it just uses whatever is on your PATH for Julia, ie you’ll get the same thing you get if you just type julia into a terminal. You can either change what julia points to…

As nishg said, and also look at the official instructions ( Platform Specific Instructions for Official Binaries ) for details on setting the path.

That sounds good. I will give it a try tonight. Do have any other tips for setting up Julia with sublime txt 4? Also I hope VsCode ccathes up. It is great but the to many features that only work half way for me.
