If your packages are in the default environment, you should copy `~/.julia/environments/v1.6` to `v1.7`:  
E.g.  
`cp -r ~/.julia/environments/v1.6 ~/.julia/environments/v1.7`

Also, from [here](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/ann-jill-py-a-simple-and-stupid-cross-platform-julia-installer/34845/7) it looks like if you do

```julia
jill install 1.7.0 --update

```

Jill will do that for you.
