How to add latest Julia version to Jupyter Notebook

I installed Julia 1.5.3 on my Linux Mint 20 system. I copied the Julia files in julia-1.5.3-linux-x86_64.tar.gz to /opt/julia-1.5.3/, adjacent to the folder /opt/julia-1.4.1/, (I did not change the path environment variable in .bashrc).

I ran Pkg.add("IJulia")in the Julia console.

So far so good, the new version runs if I start Julia from the command prompt. Atom / Juno also run the latest version.

But, if I run Jupyter from the Anaconda navigator, then I only see the older version of Julia, see this picture: https://i.imgur.com/WOy62Gw.png

How can I add julia-1.5.3 to that menu?

Have you installed IJulia, the Julia package which runs the jupyter kernel? If not that's what you're missing.

If you've got that already but you have updated your Julia version and can only see u the old Julia kernel, You need to Pkg.build("IJulia") or ] build IJulia in pkg repl mode as the build script registers the kernel.
