VirtualEnv.jl provides support for creating lightweight “virtual environments” with their own site directories, isolated from system site directories. Each virtual environment has its own Julia binary (which matches the version of the binary that was used to create this environment) and can have its own independent set of installed Julia packages in its site directories.
