Julia

Downloading Julia

Go to the Julia Downloads page and download the latest stable release.

Once downloaded, extract the contents of the zip file to a location we want to store the files. In my case that is ~/julia.

Command Line Access

To make the version of Julia you just downloaded and extracted available from the command line, we will want to export the path in our .bashrc file. Let's do this by adding the following lines to the end of the .bashrc file:

# julia
export PATH=${PATH}:$HOME/julia/julia-1.3.0/bin

Notice that the path uses the location where I decided to store the julia files.

After saving and closing the .bashrc file, to activate the changes in our current terminal window:

source .bashrc

Verifying Julia Install

Enter the following into the command line:

julia --version

which should yield the following

julia version 1.3.0
