I’m having some trouble customizing JULIA_DEPOT_PATH through juliaup based on the juliaup repo is that
Before installing Julia/juliaup, I add
export JULIAUP_DEPOT_PATH=/workspace/.julia
to my ~/.bashrc file. I then install juliaup and julia via
curl -fsSL https://install.julialang.org | sh -s -- --path /workspace/.julia/
However, when I run Julia and check DEPOT_PATH, the first entry is still ~/.julia. Any idea of what’s going on?

Specifying
JULIA_DEPOT_PATH=/workspace/.julia
works for the terminal. Did I just misunderstand GitHub - JuliaLang/juliaup: Julia installer and version multiplexer and need to specify both the juliaup and Julia depot paths?
Setting this environment variable doesn’t work for VSCode (I’ve seen some recommendations that I launch it from terminal, but I don’t think that helps if I’m using VSCode to connect remotely through SSH). Is there any way to fix this for VSCode?

I think I got something to work for VSCode based on Unable to set/change Julia environment in vscode · Issue #2631 · julia-vscode/julia-vscode · GitHub . Setting terminal.integrated.env.linux in VSCode seems to allow VSCode to detect JULIA_DEPOT_PATH
