Julia is a programming language for scientific programming that some of us (mostly Carl and Nick) have found useful.
Installing Julia[edit]
You can install Julia without needing root permissions on both Kibo and Hyak. The relevant files and checksums are at julialang.org. Download and unzip the tar file using:
wget https://julialang-s3.julialang.org/bin/linux/x64/1.5/julia-1.5.3-linux-x86_64.tar.gz tar zxvf julia-1.5.3-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
Then add julia to your path. Further (and probably more up-to-date) instructions for setting up Julia on Linux are here: https://julialang.org/downloads/platform/#linux_and_freebsd
Installing Packages[edit]
Julia comes with its own package manager called Pkg. You can invoke it by typing ]
inside the Julia REPL.
Then run add Package
to install.
Pluto.jl[edit]
Pluto is a computational notebook environment for Julia.
Here is how to run it on Kibo. First choose a PORT you are going to use and log into Kibo:
ssh -L localhost:PORT:localhost:PORT kibo
Start Julia and run
using Pluto Pluto.run(;host="0.0.0.0", port=PORT)
