You might contrast the approach here with say an Engineering textbook. This manual on a particular tool (Julia) seems to imply that it is the one way to engage with an entire discipline. An Engineering textbook might mention various tools for a particular job and even endorse one over the others but in general it will start with the problem and not the solution.
That said:
$ aurman -S julia
(rolls up sleeves)
- 3rdAccount 8y agoCan you explain that last part?
- nur0n 8y ago`aurman` is a (unofficial?) package manager for Arch Linux. The standard package manager is called `pacman`. Arch User Repository(AUR) is (IIRC) a repository of uncurated packages compatible with Arch. To put it simply: he is implying that he will check out the book.
- gerdesj 8y agoYes, I should have put pacman. The book is a great resource and despite my criticism has introduced me to julia.
- 3rdAccount 8y agoThank you for the explanation.
