```bash

I am not sure what you need. If it is Julia installation on Linux (Ubuntu), download the executable from Julia language ( [64-bit (glibc)](https://julialang-s3.julialang.org/bin/linux/x64/1.8/julia-1.8.1-linux-x86_64.tar.gz)), and follow the instructions [here](https://vivaldomendes.org/teaching/macro0271/pluto&julia0271.html).

Install a new version if you want to update the Julia version in Ubuntu. If you need to tell VSCode you have a new Julia version on your computer, just do as I mentioned above.

I want to have many installations of Julia (different versions) and be able to select a julia kernel with the specific version I want at that time while using vscode
