This post is a summary of a Slack thread (thanks @davidanthoff) that I wanted to make more publicly available.

I recently upgraded to an M1 Pro MacBook from an older Intel model and started getting a strange message every time I opened a Julia REPL in VSCode:

```julia
The latest version of Julia in the `release` channel is 1.10.0+0.x64.apple.darwin14. You currently have `1.10.0+0.aarch64.apple.darwin14` installed. Run:

  juliaup update

to install Julia 1.10.0+0.x64.apple.darwin14 and update the `release` channel to that version.

```

But whenever I ran `juliaup update` in a regular REPL, the `release` tag pointed to the `aarch64` version rather than the `x64` version:

```julia
% juliaup list | grep release
 release 1.10.0+0.aarch64.apple.darwin14        
 release~aarch64 1.10.0+0.aarch64.apple.darwin14        
 release~x64 1.10.0+0.x64.apple.darwin14  

```

There were three factors at play:

1. I had transferred all of the data from my old Mac to the new one, which meant an x64 version of VSCode as well. I downloaded the Apple Silicon version specifically, but continued to get the same error messages.
2. I had installed `juliaup` using both the recommend installation script _and_ Homebrew. To fix this, I ran `brew uninstall juliaup` and then confirmed that `juliaup` was still installed somewhere by running `which juliaup`.
3. The settings in VSCode (`Julia: Executable Path`) had been changed (I can’t remember whether I did this myself a long time ago or not) to point to `/usr/local/bin/julia`, which is not the path used by `juliaup`. I reset this setting.

I did both 2 and 3 without testing in between, so I’m not sure which one solved the problem, but the error messages are gone now. Moral of the story: take the [warnings in the `juliaup` README](https://github.com/JuliaLang/juliaup#software-repositories) about other installation methods seriously!
