Has there been any update on this? My IT deptartment has very strict home directory quota’s for students which makes it very difficult to teach Julia in the classroom via virtual machines. I have tried to create a project on a shared drive, but that still seems to install packages to local directories.
I have also tried editing the JULIA_DEPOT_PATH to a directory writable by the instructor, but can’t seem to make that work either (referencing: Where or How to edit DEPOT_PATH)
