VS Code no longer detects Julia after closing install prompt?

I’m trying to set up Pumas in VS Code on a school-managed Windows desktop that requires IT administrator approval for software installation.

During the initial setup in VS Code, I was prompted to install the Julia language, but I had to close that installation window before obtaining IT approval. After that, I’ve been unable to re-trigger the Julia installation prompt, and VS Code no longer detects Julia.

I’d appreciate guidance on any of the following:

  • How to re-trigger the Julia installation prompt in VS Code
  • How to manually configure VS Code to recognize an existing or IT-installed Julia executable
  • Whether there is a portable or non-admin Julia installation workflow that works well with Pumas and VS Code

For context, I’m on Windows, using VS Code, and I have already installed the Julia VS Code extension.

Any advice, best practices, or links to relevant documentation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Welcome! You should be able to set the extension setting to the path where Julia is installed manually. Within settings:
