Where is juliarc (the Julia startup file)?

I gather that Julia used to have a file called juliarc.jl that let you specify things that you wanted Julia to do upon startup. Some time ago, it lived in ~/.julia/config/startup.jl, according to this reference. I now have Julia 1.0.0 on a Windows 7 machine, and I have neither the directory ~/.julia/config nor any files called juliarc.jl.

juliarc.jl

~/.julia/config/startup.jl

~/.julia/config

juliarc.jl

What is the modern way to tell Julia to do some tasks on startup?

The location of files has changed in Julia 1.0 (ref: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/26161)

Now the locations are the following:

JULIA_INSTALL_FOLDERetcjuliastartup.jl

JULIA_INSTALL_FOLDER

/

%HOMEPATH%.juliaconfigstartup.jl

~/.julia/config/startup.jl
