Hi. Wanting to experiment with the nightly build on my laptop (oldish Macbook pro), I looked up the juliaup list of available builds. And the “nightly” is nowhere to be found. I checked it over several weeks, and no “nightly”. Is that normal ? is macos Catalina too old for this ? (last time I checked, it was still in tier 1)  
Thanks !

What output do you get if you run this:

```julia
juliaup add nightly

```

```julia

The latest version of Juliaup is currently 1.17.19, so you’re a little out of date.

Perhaps we can try updating Juliaup?

Could you try this:

```julia
juliaup self update

```

Nothing happens… the version for juliaup stays the same.

I removed the old `juliaup` I had installed with homebrew. Then made a fresh install with curl as described in [Install Julia](https://julialang.org/install/). I can see the nightly now !  
Thank you
