The command to add to path in Julia language

Question

How can I add a path to my current path in Julia, so that I can organize files and modules in folders, but still access them?

Answer 1

Note: the following paths may be Unix-specific.

You can add the file .juliarc.jl to your home directory, and include the line

@everywhere push!(LOAD_PATH,"/path/to/my/code")

The @everywhere ensures that it will work even if you've started julia with multiple workers.

Answer 2

This is an updated and extended version of the answer by tholy and ederag. On Linux and Windows with Julia 1.0 one can add the folder myproject/src in the user homefolder to the Julia LOAD_PATH by adding

using Distributed
@everywhere push!(LOAD_PATH, joinpath(homedir(), "myproject", "src"))

to <homedir>/julia/config/startup.jl. For a fresh Julia install, startup.jl nor the folder config exists (on Linux at least). Just create the file and folder and Julia will read startup.jl automatically.
