Topic: ✔ Find path to Julia install


view this post on Zulip Timothy (May 29 2022 at 14:45):

I'm looking to find the path to the installed documentation (e.g. /opt/julias/julia-1.7.3/share/doc/julia/html/en), but I'm not sure how to go about it.

how did you install julia?

joinpath(Sys.BINDIR, "..", "share", "doc", "julia", "html", "en")

Note that this won't necessarily work if you compiled from source (which is why I asked :) )

if you compile from source, by default you don't have built docs installed - you have to run make docs, which builds them in the julia repo locally

Ah, I may add a check that that dir exists else use web -check.

make install builds them.

that builds and installs them, yeah
