Julia: How to Install, Update, Remove, and Check Versions of, Packages

This post is based on

1. Chris Rackauckas’s answer to this question on Stack Overflow.

2. Julia’s Official Documentation

First, you need to import Pkg: import Pkg.

To install: Pkg.add("DataFrames").

To update: Pkg.update("DataFrames"). To update all packages: Pkg.update().

To remove: Pkg.rm("DataFrames").

To check the package version: Pkg.status("DataFrames"). To check versions for all packages, simply run Pkg.status().

You can install, update, and check versions of, multiple packages:

Pkg.add(["DataFrames", "JSON", "DataFramesMeta"])
# The same is for `update`, `rm` and `status`.
