Julia, VS Code & Jupyter

Using Jupyter Notebooks with Julia is a fantastic way to combine code, formatted text, math, and multimedia in a single document. Here’s how you can get started:

1. Installation Steps

1. Install Julia.
2. Add IJulia Package: Open the Julia REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) and run the following commands:

   using Pkg; Pkg.add("IJulia")
   

   This will install the IJulia package, which integrates Julia with Jupyter.

• From the Julia REPL: After installing IJulia, you can launch Jupyter by running:

  using IJulia; notebook()
  

  This command will open Jupyter locally in your default web browser with Julia as an available kernel.

3. Creating and Running Notebooks

• Create a New Notebook: In the Jupyter interface, click on “New” and select “Julia” from the dropdown menu to create a new notebook.
• Write and Execute Code: You can now write Julia code in the cells and execute them by pressing Shift + Enter. For example:

  println("Hello, Julia!").
