Hi Kristoffer, I don't know if this is the right file (/julia-0.4.6/etc/julia/juliarc), but this is what it says:
# This file should contain site-specific commands to be executed on Julia startup # Users should store their own personal commands in homedir(), in a file named .juliarc.jl # Set up environment for Julia Windows binary distribution ENV["PATH"] = JULIA_HOME*";"*joinpath(JULIA_HOME,"..","Git","bin")*";"*ENV["PATH"] Should there be more here?
