The beauty of jlenv is that it doesn’t require special integrations with any tools, shells or environments. I ts shims directory just needs to be present in the path and jlenv will take care of the rest.

The following is practial info on how to add ~/.jlenv/shims to PATH in various programs/environments.

Post-receive git hook

The post-receive script that runs on a remote machine as a result of git push will run in a restricted shell and therefore won’t source any init files described in Unix shell initialization. As a consequence, jlenv won’t be present in PATH even if you configured it to be enabled when you log in over SSH.

The solution is to explicitly define PATH as descibed in cron section below.

cron jobs

Explicitly define PATH at the top of your crontab file (Assumes deploy user):

PATH=/home/deploy/.jlenv/shims:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

TextMate

In Preferences → Variables, prepend this to PATH:

$HOME/.jlenv/shims:

Sublime Text 2

Tools → Build System → New Build System:

{
  "cmd": \["julia", "$file"\],
  "file\_regex": "^(...\*?):(\[0-9\]\*):?(\[0-9\]\*)",
  "selector": "source.julia",
  "path": "$HOME/.jlenv/shims:$PATH"
}

Save this new build system as “Julia jlenv” or similar so you can distinguish it from the built-in “Julia” build system.

Capistrano

Add to your Capistrano recipe:

set :default\_environment, {
  'PATH' => "$HOME/.jlenv/shims:$PATH"
}
