Hello, I am executing the following code in a Python Jupyter Notebook:

from julia.api import Julia  
jl = Julia(compiled\_modules=True)  
from julia import Main

I would like to find where the julia executable file is within the cloud. How can I do that? This is more a basic computer science question than a Julia-specific question.

Hi Barun, welcome to the forum; you can find the latest PyJulia API documentation here: [API — PyJulia 0.5.8.dev documentation](https://pyjulia.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html)

In particular, you can find the `bin` directory of the julia executable as

```julia
from julia.api import JuliaInfo
info = JuliaInfo.load()
info.bindir

```
