> I would like to make the Julia kernel work system-wide like Python and R. In R you can do this command `installspec(user = FALSE)` to make it work system-wide. What can i do to make something equivalent to that command with an LDAP configuration ?

I think you can use the `JULIA_DEPOT_PATH` environment variable ([documentation](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/stdlib/Pkg/)) for that. If you set this to a globally visible location (e.g. `/opt/julia-depot` or something) when installing IJulia from the console, it should install everything there. For the ldap users, you then need to make sure this path is appended to `JULIA_DEPOT_PATH`, since the first entry is expected to be a user-writable location.
