jill does not install julia-1.90 about jill HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi @murrayE, it should be 1.9.0 instead of 1.90.
For the normal usage to download 1.8.5, you have to download the latest version of jill.sh. Either clone or curl again, please.

What, then, is the real point of using jill to upgrade to latest julia version if one must download a new version of jill to do it?

OK, I curl'ed jill again, executed "jill.sh", saw message "Try to download julia version '1.9-latest", but still when I execute "julia --version" or just start "julia", it is version 1.8.5. (However, Julia.app was installed, and if I use the app, it does start julia 1.9.0.)

The problem seems to be that the link /usr/local/bin/julia still points to
/Applications/Julia-1.8.app/Contents/Resources/julia/bin/julia.

I find it easier to upgrade jill (git pull) or use jill -v 1.9.0, than what I was doing before. Your experience may vary, I don't know what you did before using jill.
Jill is free software, built on contributors free time. If you want to work on this feature, let's talk about it in a new issue.

Did you use sudo to install? Maybe you did in the past and not now? Does the equivalent 1.9 path exists?

The OSX installation is contributed code, and I don't use OSX, so I can't test your case. Fell free to give more information.

That was the issue, and including sudo for the jill.sh command fixed the link, so that now executing juilia at the command-line prompt does indeed start julia 1.9.0.

Thanks!

Great to hear. Closing this then. Cheers!
