Hello,
this is probably a redundant question, but what is the easiest and more comprehensive way to upgrade Julia in Linux?
I say ‘easiest’ because the way I was doing was to literally change the folder where I store Julia with the new version, meaning then I need to re-install all the packages I was using. I say ‘comprehensive’ because I am using Julia via Juno/Atom, and after having upgraded Julia, I need to re-upgrade Juno independently.
What is the correct way to upgrade everything at once?
Thanks

You could try [GitHub - johnnychen94/jill.py: A cross-platform installer for the Julia programming language](https://github.com/johnnychen94/jill.py)
Alternatively just manually unzip the latest Julia version somewhere, and change the location that `julia` points to if it’s on your path. By default Juno just uses whatever `julia` points to so you don’t need to do anything there.
As for installed packages these should be in project-specific environments anyway, so you can just `instantiate` those from 1.7. The base environment can just be copied over by duplicating your `.../.julia/environments/1.6` folder and renaming it `1.7`.

Seeing how popular those two links are I suspect this topic is getting reasonable amounts of Google traffic - I should therefore add that there’s also [`juliaup`](https://github.com/JuliaLang/juliaup) which was initially a Windows solution but is being lined up to become the recommended way to install and update Julia on other platforms as well.
