Slow, unnecessary version check updates on unrelated command #1170
Description
When installing channel 1.8, I don't want to check for updates to other channels. Especially not if that slows down the instillation of the channel I'm asking for.
In this case, the "Checking for new version" steps took longer than the "Installing" step.
$ julia +1.8
ERROR: `1.8` is not installed. Please run `juliaup add 1.8` to install channel or version.
$ juliaup add 1.8
