Julia is a programming language, that aims to create an unprecedented combination of ease-of-use, power, and efficiency in a single language.
Installation And Versions
You can install the newest version of Julia either with julia-bin (the derivation which downloads the binary) or julia (the derivation which builds Julia from the source). From the end-user perspective, -bin packages should be indistinguishable from source-built ones.
Packages
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 Gadfly instead.
As of April 2026, the above statement is no longer accurate. Julia Plots does seem to work with no additional configuration.
