Hi guys.

Only have just started looking at Julia and ain’t a programmer and have this, most likely trivial, question.

I set those envs:  
export JULIA\_LOAD\_PATH=“/opt/share/julia/extralib:$JULIA\_LOAD\_PATH”  
export JULIA\_DEPOT\_PATH=“/opt/share/julia/extralib:$JULIA\_DEPOT\_PATH”

I see:  
julia\> Pkg.add(“IJulia”)  
Updating registry at `/opt/share/julia/extralib/registries/General.toml`  
Resolving package versions…  
No Changes to `/opt/share/julia/extralib/environments/v1.7/Project.toml`  
No Changes to `/opt/share/julia/extralib/environments/v1.7/Manifest.toml`

julia\> Pkg.build(“IJulia”)  
Building Conda ─→ `/opt/share/julia/extralib/scratchspaces/44cfe95a-1eb2-52ea-b672-e2afdf69b78f/6e47d11ea2776bc5627421d59cdcc1296c058071/build.log`  
Building IJulia → `/opt/share/julia/extralib/scratchspaces/44cfe95a-1eb2-52ea-b672-e2afdf69b78f/d8b9c31196e1dd92181cd0f5760ca2d2ffb4ac0f/build.log`

yet! … kernel ends up here:  
/root/.local/share/jupyter/kernels/julia-1.7

Why is that - that’s one - and how to fix it - meaning make it land where you want?

many thanks, L.
