Installation
Installation of Julia
Julia is a high-level and interactive programming language (like R or Matlab), but it is also high-performance (like C). To install Julia, follow instructions here. For a quick & basic tutorial on Julia, see learn x in y minutes.
Editors:
- Visual Studio Code provides an editor and an integrated development environment (IDE) for Julia: highly recommended!
- You can also run Julia within a Jupyter notebook (formerly IPython notebook).
IMPORTANT: Julia code is just-in-time compiled. This means that the first time you run a function, it will be compiled at that moment. So, please be patient! Future calls to the function will be much much faster. Trying out toy examples for the first calls is a good idea.
