Does a Python-like virtualenv exist in Julia?

Question

Is there a Python-like virtualenv environment simulator for Julia where one can do development in a local, virtual environment?

Answer 1

Currently (julia 1.2) is able to manage virual environments via it's builtin Pkg standard library module:

• https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/stdlib/Pkg

julia> ]  (v1.2) pkg> activate tutorial [ Info: activating new environment at `/tmp/tutorial/Project.toml`.  (tutorial) pkg>  (tutorial) pkg> status     Status `/tmp/tutorial/Project.toml`    (empty environment)  (tutorial) pkg> add Example ...  (tutorial) pkg> status     Status `/tmp/tutorial/Project.toml`   [7876af07] Example v0.5.1 

There is Playground.jl

A package for managing julia sandboxes like python's virtualenv (with a little influence from pyenv and virtualenvwrapper)
