Hello,  
Apologies, I appreciate this is a really basic question. Not a great start as I’m new to Julia.

I’m struggling to find where my startup.jl file should be. I’ve installed Julia pro for a complete IDE and am on Windows 10. I’ve tried placing it under c:\users\USERNAME.julia\config\startup.jl. I’ve also tried under the .juliapro directory, neither had any impact.

I have now edited, C:\JuliaPro-1.0.2.1\Julia-1.0.2\etc\julia\startup file, which does appear to work, but get the feeling this isn’t the right place (it does say Juliapro will overwrite it on each launch).

I basically just want OhMyRepl and Revise to be included each time i launch Julia.

Thanks in advance.

My startup.jl is in `C:\Users\USERNAME\.julia\config\startup.jl` (although this is not `Pro`, just a standard installation).

I have the same desire. The startup.jl file I found seems pessimistic, especially the first line:

```julia
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE, ALL THE CONTENTS OF THIS FILE WILL BE DELETED ON EVERY LAUNCH OF JULIAPRO

popfirst!(DEPOT_PATH)
ENV["JULIA_PKG_SERVER"] = "https://pkg.juliacomputing.com/"
ENV["DISABLE_FALLBACK"] = "true"
ENV["JULIA_PKG_TOKEN_PATH"] = joinpath(homedir(),".juliapro","token.toml")
using Pkg
pushfirst!(DEPOT_PATH,joinpath(homedir(),".juliapro","JuliaPro_v1.2.0-1"))

```

I have the same issue, though I’m on linux. JuliaPro seems to ignore ~/.julia/config/startup.jl

I’ve just been trying to do the same thing, and found that, if you manually add a ‘config’ directory to C:\Users\Username\.juliapro\JuliaPro\_v1.4.2-1, and then add a startup.jl file to it, Juliapro does find it and execute it. I think the confusing thing is that the directory doesn’t seem to be created automatically after installing Juliapro.

Thanks for this, even though you posted this sometime ago, it helped solve the same issue 🙂
