Disclaimer: this is early, experimental, subject to change, etc. Notably, there are reports that it doesn't work in Windows. It works here on Mac, but YMMV. 1) Install juliaup following the instructions for your platform from julialang.org 2) Install julia 1.12 with `juliaup add 1.12` and switch to it `juliaup default 1.12`. 3) Start a standard julia 1.12 REPL with `julia --project=.` This is the "Outer" project that will do the compiling (PackageCompiler.jl terminology, might not be necessary now that juliac can run from the command line). 4) Install juliac with `] app add JuliaC`. The ']' character opens the package manager. You might need to add Julia's app location to your PATH in .zshrc with `export PATH="/home/ccp/.julia/bin:$PATH"` and restart your shell (I had this already from earlier attempts with 1.12 beta). 5) Create a new project with `] generate AppProject`. This is the "Inner" project that will be compiled. Put the example AppProject code from the julia 1.12 announcement in src/AppProject.jl 6) Run the example command `juliac --output-exe app_test_exe --bundle build --trim=safe --experimental ./AppProject` while in the "Outer" directory. You should be able to run it as in the announcement `./build/bin/app_test_exe`
