I have recently started using julia in lxplus and was wondering how to properly set it up. For example, is there a way to use the julia extension in lxplus, in order to run my julia files I currently have to give commands like
```julia-auto
export JULIA_DEPOT_PATH="$HOME/.julia" && /cvmfs/unpacked.cern.ch/registry.cern.ch/juliahep/juliahep-base:latest/opt/julia/bin/julia code.jl
```
As you can see I am using juliahep-base (Julia version 1.11.5 if I remember correctly).

Which reminds me, I have to update the CVMFS “container”.

I’ll try to get on this during the next days.

Julia v1.12.3 should be within a few days too, so I’ll wait for that before rebuilding and deploying the containers.
