Where to find this charmming start.jl file from my julia installation path?

Hi. I was trying to locate this start.jl file. From software Atom, after clicking Julia pane, and then open julia home, I got this .julia location

Then, I tried open startup file pane, and nothing happened.

I search through this location and did not find any start.jl file… Sigh. This really confuses me.

I tried to search through the internet, and managed to find this start.jl file in the julia installation path. Still, it is really confusing.

Any comments are greatly appreciated.

I’m not really sure what you mean but if you mean the startup.jl file that runs automatically when julia starts you should put in in .julia/config. (create the folder if it doesn’t exist).

Searched this startup.jl file, and it looks like I do not have this .julia/config folder… So I can create the folder and copy startup.jl file from I guess, this

/home/devel/julia-1.0.3/etc/julia/startup.jl

location?

Why do you want to copy another startup file? It’s just a normal julia file, just put what you want in it.

I see. I did copy, and it is an empty file indeed…
