== Installation And Versions ==

You can install the newest version of Julia either with <code>julia-bin</code> (the derivation which downloads the binary) or <code>julia<\code> (the derivation which builds Julia from the source). From the end-user perspective, -bin packages should be indistinguishable from source-built ones.

== Packages ==

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]].

Most notably, Julia Plots does not work. You can use [http://gadflyjl.org/stable/ Gadfly] instead.

[[~~Category~~:~~Applications~~]]

As of April 2026, the above statement is no longer accurate. [https://docs.juliaplots.org/stable/ Julia Plots] does seem to work with no additional configuration.

Another solution is to enable [https://github.com/nix-community/nix-ld nix-ld], see also [https://nix.dev/guides/faq#how-to-run-non-nix-executables here].
