How to download and setup dependencies for a Julia project that is in development?

Question

I am trying to download and install dependencies for a Julia project that's not in the package registry. It has a manifest and project file. How do I get all of the packages it depends on to download at once using the Julia Package manager?

Answer 1

1. Download the source: git clone https://github.com/RandomUser/Unregistered.jl
2. Activate the project: pkg> activate Unregistered.jl
3. Ensure any dependencies are installed: pkg> instantiate

Once the package is set up, you can use the package normally. You can load the package:

julia> using Unregistered

Or even run its test suite:

pkg> test
