Julia

The Julia package system requires some extra steps to get user packages installed. The key is that you need to have a user project in place at a higher priority than the system project.

1. Create a config directory if you do not already have one
   mkdir -p ~/.julia/config
2. create a startup.jl file if you do not already have one, with the following contents:
   pushfirst!(Base.DEPOT_PATH,string(ENV["HOME"],"/",".julia"))
3. create a project skeleton if you do not already have one
   mkdir -p ~/.julia/environments/v1.1
4. create a Project.toml file if you do not already have one.
   touch ~/.julia/environments/v1.1/Project.toml

With that you will have a local project loaded in julia. Steps 3-4 could be replaced by starting julia with the project specified as:
JULIA_PROJECT=~/.julia/environments/v1.1/ julia
and then writing out the project from julia itself.
