Instructions

For the Julia cases you need:

• Install Julia (https://julialang.org/downloads/)

• Install the necessary Julia packages by running the following from this folder:

  julia --project=. -e 'using Pkg; pkg"instantiate"'
  

• Install the Julia magic for Jupyter:

  pip install julia
  

• Ensure you have a version of Python which is dynamically linked to libpython, or use one of the workarounds mentioned here. Personally, I just make a new Python kernel which uses the python-jl wrapper mentioned there, i.e.

  {
   "argv": [
    "python-jl",
    "-m",
    "ipykernel_launcher",
    "-f",
    "{connection_file}"
   ],
   "display_name": "Python 3 (with Julia)",
   "language": "python"
  }
