I’m using julia in atom, and I’m trying to open an excel file using ExcelReaders package. There is no problems when I run julia directly, but through atom gives me the following error message:
"ERROR: LoadError: PyError (ccall(@pysym(:PyObject\_Call), PyPtr, (PyPtr, PyPtr, PyPtr), o, pyargsptr, kw)) \
FileNotFoundError(2, ‘No such file or directory’)
File “C:\Users\Daniel Castro.julia\v0.6\Conda\deps\usr\lib\site-packages\xlrd\__init_\_.py”, line 111, in open\_workbook
with open(filename, “rb”) as f: "
I think the problem is where atom is searching for that file. ¿Does anyone know where may I change the path or wher atom is looking for the file?
Kind regards
Daniel Castro

Not sure if it’ll fix your problem, but try starting Atom from a terminal – that you way your `PATH` is the same as when you start a Julia session in the terminal.

You need to change your current working directory:
cd(“…/mydir/someotherdir/”)
You can read more about it in:
> [@How to change working directory in julia with atom](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/how-to-change-working-directory-in-julia-with-atom/7588):
>
> The command to change working directory is cd(dir::AbstractString=homedir()). Can anyone give an example as how to use it?
then you can run you file using ExcelReaders package.
I hope it helps.
