I have this code:

 ![modulo-julia](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/0/5/05eb6c8462b87fe2cc138c72a187cdb101122f78.png)

And I’m trying to import it to Pluto.jl like this:

 ![ploto](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/7/6/76988cbdb77590bb303d1859bac4b83ed648b05a.png)

But it does not work! Could someone help me, please?

so one clean answer is don’t do this, make it a package and `]dev <local path>` so you can simply `using Cow` from anywhere

I usually do something like this

```julia
begin
 import Pkg
 Pkg.activate(temp=true)
 Pkg.dev("path to your pkg")
 using your_pkg
end

```
