How can I load modules on remote processes from within a function in process 1. In other words, I’m looking to do something like this:

```julia
addprocs(3)

function load()
  @everywhere using Distributions
end

load()

```

I think that what is often used is either:

Calling this outside of any method.

```julia
@everywhere using Distributions

```

Calling this inside or outside a method.

```julia
@everywhere include("file_with_code_loading_packages.jl")

```
