Hi,

I am mostly using Jupyter along with the Julia Kernel. What would be the preferred way to upgrade the Julia kernel to the new 0.6.2 version that I have just installed?

Thank you!

After you install Julia itself, you have to run a command to install the kernel as documented here:

https://github.com/JuliaLang/IJulia.jl/blob/master/README.md

It installs a new kernel that includes the Julia version number, so you can use multiple versions at the same time.

Thank you, just installed the new kernel for Julia 6.2.

Ideally, however, I would like to have only one version, the most recent one. On JupyterLab and with BeakerX installed, the launcher is getting somewhat too crowded.  Would it possible to get this by changing, for example, some configuration file, so that just a subset of all the kernels available would be shown?

I am not sure about the best way to manage multiple Julia versions, but there's a command

jupyter kernelspec remove <name>

where <name> would be something like julia-0.4.  you can use "jupyter kernelspec list" to see the options.
if you are done with a kernel then i would recommend that.

as for BeakerX, we are planning on creating subpackages for individual languages so you can install only the ones you need.
we have a PR for this but it's not ready yet, perhaps in a month, in a couple of releases from now, you can do that.
until then, you can use the kernelspec remove command to clean up the list.

best, -Scott
