Julia is available for Windows 7 and later, both 32 bit and 64 bit.
The Windows README contains information on dependencies.
Uninstallation is performed by deleting the extracted directory and the packages directory in %HOME%/.julia. If you would also like to remove your preferences files, remove %HOME%/.juliarc.jl and %HOME%/.julia_history.
On Mac, a Julia-<version>.dmg file is provided, which contains Julia.app. Installation is the same as any other Mac software – copy the Julia-<version>.app to your hard-drive (anywhere) or run from the disk image. Julia runs on macOS 10.8 and later releases.
Uninstall Julia by deleting Julia.app and the packages directory in ~/.julia. Multiple Julia.app binaries can co-exist without interfering with each other. If you would also like to remove your preferences files, remove ~/.juliarc.jl.
An alternative to installing Julia from the downloaded .dmg is by using the Homebrew package manager. In your terminal, run
brew cask install julia
It is strongly recommended that the official generic linux binaries from the downloads page be used to install Julia.
The generic Linux binaries do not require any special installation steps, but you will need to ensure that your system can find the julia executable. First, extract the .tar.gz file downloaded from the downloads page to a folder on your computer. To run Julia, you can do any of the following:
julia inside a folder which is on your system PATHbin folder to your system PATH environment variablejulia executable by using its full path, as in <where you extracted Julia>/bin/juliaFor example, to create a symbolic link to julia inside the /usr/local/bin folder, you can do the following:
sudo ln -s <where you extracted the julia archive>/bin/julia /usr/local/bin/julia
On some linux distributions, you may need to use a folder other than /usr/local/bin. To check which folders are on your PATH, you can run echo $PATH.
The following distribution-specific packages are community contributed. They may not use the right versions of Julia dependencies or include important patches that the official binaries ship with. In general, bug reports will only be accepted if they are reproducible on the generic linux binaries on the downloads page.
Instructions will be added here as more linux distributions start including julia. If your Linux distribution is not listed here, you should still be able to run julia by building from source. See the Julia README for more detailed information.
A Copr repository is provided for Fedora, RHEL, CentOS, Scientific Linux and Oracle Enterprise Linux systems to allow for automatic updating to the latest stable version of Julia.
If you are using RHEL, CentOS, Scientific Linux or Oracle Enterprise Linux (version 5 or higher), first enable EPEL for your distribution version. Then follow the steps below.
If you are using Fedora (version 19 or higher), directly run:
sudo dnf copr enable nalimilan/julia
sudo yum install julia
If you are using CentOS (version 7 or higher), directly run:
sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/nalimilan/julia/repo/epel-7/nalimilan-julia-epel-7.repo
sudo yum install julia
If both dnf and yum-config-manager are not available for your distribution, download the relevant .repo file from the Copr webpage, copy it to /etc/yum.repos, and run the second command.
Note that Fedora guidelines advise against uploading new breaking releases to official repositories: therefore your distribution will not provide the new major versions of Julia which were published after it. When reporting issues, please ensure you are using the latest available release by using one of the Copr repositories displayed on this page.
A Copr repository is provided for Fedora, RHEL, CentOS, Scientific Linux and Oracle Enterprise Linux systems to allow for automatic updating to the latest development version of Julia.
If you are using RHEL, CentOS, Scientific Linux or Oracle Enterprise Linux (version 5 or higher), first enable EPEL for your distribution version. Then follow the steps below.
If you are using Fedora (version 19 or higher), directly run:
sudo dnf copr enable nalimilan/julia-nightlies
sudo yum install julia
If dnf is not available for your distribution, download the relevant .repo file from the Copr webpage, copy it to /etc/yum.repos, and run the second command.
New versions are built every night. If you have already installed julia and you want to upgrade to the latest version, do:
sudo yum upgrade julia
Uninstallation depends on the method you used to install Julia. If you installed from a package manager such as apt-get or yum, use the package manager to remove julia, for example apt-get remove julia or yum remove julia. If you did a source build, you can remove it by deleting your julia source folder. If you would also like to remove your preferences files, they are ~/.julia and ~/.juliarc.jl.
