Installing Julia

The recommended way to install Julia is to install juliaup which is a small, self-contained binary that will automatically install the latest stable julia binary and help keep it up to date. It also supports installing and using different versions of Julia simultaneously.

Install juliaup from the Microsoft Store by running this in the command prompt:

winget install --name Julia --id 9NJNWW8PVKMN -e -s msstore

It looks like you're using Windows. For Linux and MacOS instructions click here

Install juliaup by running this in your terminal:

curl -fsSL https://install.julialang.org | sh

It looks like you're using a Unix-type system. For Windows instructions click here

This will install the latest stable version of Julia, as well as the juliaup tool. Start Julia from the command-line by typing julia. To install different Julia versions, see juliaup --help.

If you need to manually download and install specific Julia versions, see the Downloads page.

Official domains

The following domains are official and used by open source Julia infrastructure for serving content and resources:

julialang.org and all subdomains
julialang.net and all subdomains

If you are using Julia behind a firewall that blocks access to these, you may have trouble downloading and installing Julia packages. If this is the case, please ask your sysadmin to add these domains to the firewall allow list. Traffic can be limited to HTTPS (TCP port 443).

IP Address Retention Policy

Julia comes with a built-in package manager which downloads and installs packages from the Internet. In doing so, it necessarily reveals your public IP address to any server you connect to, and service providers may log your IP address. In Julia versions 1.5 and higher, by default the package manager connects to https://pkg.julialang.org, a free public service operated by the Julia project to serve open source package resources to Julia users. This service retains IP address logs for up to 31 days.
