Please download and install Julia using juliaup. Launch the Command Prompt app and type:
winget install julia -s msstore
juliaup add 1.10
juliaup update
If that doesn't work, download https://install.julialang.org/Julia.appinstaller and double-click on the downloaded file to install it.
It is suggested to install Windows Terminal . Copy and paste works better, unicode works much better and you can use it with bash or Command Prompt, whatever you prefer. It is suggested to set one of these two as default using the Settings menu of Windows Terminal.
Copy and past the following line to install julia:
curl -fsSL https://install.julialang.org | sh
Restart your terminal, and then execute:
juliaup add 1.10
juliaup update
It is suggested to add the following line to your .bashrc file:
alias jl='./bin/run_julia'
This makes it possible to run Julia with the shortcut jl later.
Please download and install juliaup as explained at https://github.com/JuliaLang/juliaup .
Restart your terminal, and then execute:
juliaup add 1.10
juliaup update
It is useful to install the integrated development environment VSCode, even though it is not required. You can also use any editor of your choice.
VSCode provides syntax highlighting, but also the feature "goto definition" which can help to understand and explore the code.
You can download and install VSCode for all operating systems from this location: https://code.visualstudio.com/
For Ubuntu Linux the following ppa can be used to install vscode and to keep it up-to-date: https://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/vscode .
Julia development with VSCode is well documented here: https://www.julia-vscode.org/docs/stable/
I would NOT use all the advanced features of julia-vscode, I prefer to just use the vscode terminal and launch julia from the terminal. This makes it easy to launch Julia with any command line options and also to start and restart Julia quickly.
