hi guys
i am a newbie Julia
i have created my own environment and named it “demo”, i want the downloaded packages to be in the demo folder, i have activated the demo environment, why when i use the command “add PyCall” the packages get installed put in folder C? I don’t want to use C folder for installing package.
(before i used node js for package installation when i install package for project, it is installed into the node_modules directory, which comes with the project)
because it’s a waste of time and space to duplicate registry and package source code and cached compiled code for every single environment on your computer. The environment only needs to record (content of Manifest.toml) what packages and what versions you have, not the registry (which has information about every package) or the source code of the packages (they are read-only anyway).
If you want to change where the deposition of registry and package sources happen:
Note that the Manifest.toml will have all the information you need to fully reproduce your code. You don’t need to worry about the pacakges living alongside your code for maximum reproducibility.
my computer don’t have much space on C Drive, I don’t want the downloaded packages to be on C drive, how can I download and save the downloaded package located in the folder that comes with the project?
i read it but i did’t get it, I can’t do it, it’s too hard to visualize the steps to do. because i don’t understand it technically and i’m not a native english speaker, anyone have a video tutorial on this?
maybe i have to give up julia, no one helps me.
could you please take a moment to make a demonstration video for me, i have read that article, but i don’t understand how to do it, i don’t know what is environment variable? i don’t know what step to config or setup are
Is it working now?
If not, you could try something like this for the variable value in the screenshot
E:\Softwares\julia_depot
you may need to create the folder (although it looks like Julia tries this anyway)
I don’t think you want the depot to in the install directory of the software itself.
