I've updated the Julia programming language on Athena to 0.5.0. From my
message to users:
Julia on Athena has been updated to the 0.5.0 production release along
with the Juno/Atom runtime/development environment. This version will be
made the default after the end of the current term. Release notes are at
https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/NEWS.md
To run it:
add julia
julia -ver 0.5.0 (command-line version)
julia> using IJulia (to run an IJulia notebook *)
julia> notebook()
atom -ver 0.5.0 (Juno/Atom runtime/development environment *)
then select Julia -> Start Julia
* see http://web.mit.edu/julia_v0.5.0/README.athena for initial setup
Julia is configured so that add-on packages are installed in ~/.julia
and ~/.atom in your home directory. Please see
http://web.mit.edu/julia_v0.5.0/README.athena
for important additional information. Please note that due to the
upgrade, you may need to delete or rename your ~/.julia directory,
and delete or rename your ~/.julia_history file for compatibility.
