Typing `sudo julia` sounds like a wrong start.  
Also, see that [UpdateJulia.jl](https://github.com/LilithHafner/UpdateJulia.jl/pull/36) is effectively deprecated.

[juliaup](https://github.com/JuliaLang/juliaup) does not require `sudo` to update julia since only user folders are touched.

Yes, juliaup is currently the best option. It even can be easily used in servers for not requiring sudo access. I have used It in Windows and Linux systems without any problem.
