Wish julia would get some decent packages on main distros at least for the latest stable release. The tooling is slowly but surely improving, but that's hard to do when you're always 1/2 versions behind the latest release.
- vchuravy 4y agoTake a look at `juliaup`. It's allows you to manage multiple Julia versions and makes you independent of the distribution.
- sebow 4y agoWow, thanks a lot. I'm kind of surprised I didn't knew this because I recall searching quite a bit for such a tool/script. In my defense it was around when 1.6 got released ... if anything this shows how fast the julia community grows(or how slow I keep up).
- joshjob42 4y agoIt's fairly new. It was announced at JuliaCon last month (early this month? I forget) that it will soon be the default recommended way to install Julia moving forward. I'm personally hugely excited about it (Julia's been my main squeeze since v0.3-alpha). They just need to work on non-interactive installs so it's easy to incorporate juliaup in a docker container (this may actually be fixed, haven't checked in a couple weeks).
