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

Julia's standard library (Base) provides a find_package function which works as follows:

julia> Base.find_package("Random")
"/Applications/Julia-1.3.app/Contents/Resources/julia/share/julia/stdlib/v1.3/Random/src/Random.jl"

julia> Base.find_package("JSON")
"/Users/logankilpatrick/.julia/packages/JSON/d89fA/src/JSON.jl"
