Install into system instead of local directory?

By default:

Is it possible to do a system install instead of local install? e.g.

But not sure if or how you can invoke this behavior from the julia shell https://julialang.github.io/IJulia.jl/stable/manual/installation/

IJulia.jl installs kernels using the JUPYTER_DATA_DIR environment variable. This can be set via your shell, or in Julia as

ENV["JUPYTER_DATA_DIR"] = "/usr/local/share/jupyter/"

Where the .julia directory is located is an entirely different question, and is controlled by the JULIA_DEPOT_PATH environment variable: see https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/environment-variables/#JULIA_DEPOT_PATH

This in turn is used to define Base.DEPOT_PATH which can be called in the Julia REPL to see its value.
