Julia, VS Code & Jupyter
Julia
Download and Install Julia: If you haven’t already, download Julia from the official website and install it on your computer. (Mac users: Julia is also available via MacPorts and Homebrew.)
You can start Julia by typing julia
in the Terminal.
Julia in Visual Studio Code
Julia only runs in the Terminal. For Windows and Mac users Visual Studio Code with Julia for Visual Studio Code make up a nice developer environment.
Julia in Jupyter Notebooks
Using Jupyter Notebooks with Julia is a fantastic way to combine code, formatted text, math, and multimedia in a single document. You'll need the IJulia package to be able to run Jupyter notebook server. Type
using IJulia
in the Julia REPL and confirm that you want the package installed (if you run this for the first time). Now type
notebook()
in the Julia REPL to start the server.
Visual Studio Code can also open Jupyter Notebooks, so running the server is only optional.
