Packages not persisting in Julia config on qBraid

Question

Have successfully run the Julia packages in the qBraid Lab IDE. Now looking to persist the configuration, which seems to reset every time I run a new session. Is there a method for persistance?

Tried running the qBraid Lab IDE config with Julia packages but they reset after each session.

Answer 1

The default for JULIA_DEPOT_PATH in qBraid Lab is set to /opt/.julia. This is what causes the sessions to effectively reset as they are stored at the system level.

Update the depot path to save at the user level (in my example /home/drya/.julia) and you will be able to persist the additional packages, caches, configs, and other Julia updates.

export JULIA_DEPOT_PATH="/home/drya/.julia:$JULIA_DEPOT_PATH"
