How to find the path of a package in Julia?

Question

I am trying to find the path to a specific package in Julia. I do not know exactly where it is and I want to use the appropriate path. Is there a function that does this in Juli

Answer 1

You can use pathof to find the location of an imported module (and package if the module was in a package)

julia> using Random

julia> pathof(Random)
"C:\\Julia-1.4.1\\share\\julia\\stdlib\\v1.4\\Random\\src\\Random.jl"
