I was really happy with how easy it was to install Julia on linux even though I have little Linux experience. Basically, just extract the zip file and I am done.

I got Julia v1 running Redhat Linux. How do I find out where `.julia` folder is? I understand I can just put the code there and it will recognise it.

And if I want to change it how do I do that? If I understand correctly [here](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/where-or-how-to-edit-depot-path/13501/13) says that `ENV["JULIA_HOME_DEPOT"]="/some/path"` should suffice.
