Use the depot stack? See the `DEPOT_PATH` variable in Julia or use the `JULIA_DEPOT_PATH` environment variable.

[https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/environment-variables/#JULIA\_DEPOT\_PATH](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/environment-variables/#JULIA_DEPOT_PATH)

[https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/base/constants/#Base.DEPOT\_PATH](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/base/constants/#Base.DEPOT_PATH)

Only the first depot is writable. The others should be read only.
