			Julia packages can be installed via nix using the <code>julia.withPackages</code> function. For example:<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
			{pkgs, ...}:
			let
			myjulia = (pkgs.julia.withPackages [
			"Plots"
			]);
			in
			{

			environment.systemPackages = [ myjulia ];

			home.packages = [ myjulia ]; # if using home manager
			}
			</syntaxhighlight>
			You can also install packages the [https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/stdlib/Pkg/ without nix.]

	Some Julia packages expect binaries to be installed on your system. Until a better solution is found, you can run Julia inside [[Distrobox]].		Some Julia packages expect binaries to be installed on your system. Until a better solution is found, you can run Julia inside [[Distrobox]].
