Three questions about the same topic:

> [@Do I need to configure anything in VSCode to switch to using v1.6.0?](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/do-i-need-to-configure-anything-in-vscode-to-switch-to-using-v1-6-0/58122/19):

> I personally think putting it in PATH is a better option rather than fixing it in vscode. This is because I work in tandem with vscode, vscode internal terminal, and a REPL running on an external terminal. It would suck to have vscode launch 1.6 (since the path is explicility specified) and version 1.x run when typing in julia in the terminal.

(For example: [Setting global env…](https://support.shotgunsoftware.com/hc/en-us/articles/114094235653-Setting-global-environment-variables-on-Windows#:~:text=Windows%207,to%20edit%2C%20and%20click%20Edit.)

Reading through these post it seems if you have generated a package and added it to dev it should work.

and here.

The two others necroed old topics.  
Please, OP, this is not the way to ask, it wastes our time, because e.g. I started in the first topic I saw, and afterwards I found the other questions with good answers.
