DEPOT_PATH undefined despite JULIA_DEPOT_PATH being defined in the Environment

I have had Julia1.2 installed on a remote linux server and can start it up and run commands, but cannot import any modules (e.g. ‘using Pkg’)

I get the error ERROR: LoadError: UndefVarError: DEPOT_PATH not defined

All documents I have read say that this should not be an issue if JULIA_DEPOT_PATH is defined,
which in my case it is (I can type ‘ENV’ at the Julia commandline and see it there pointing to the
right places).

I tried various ways to manually set DEPOT_PATH but none worked, and all advice online seems to say that I should not do this, but merely make sure JULIA_DEPOT_PATH is defined (which it is).
So far, I have spent 16 hours trying to rectify this. Can anyone help?
