Simply install latest Julia
On Linux, the best way to install Julia is to use the Generic Linux Binaries. And while all Linux users love manually downloading, unpacking, and linking their software, this script does it for you.
Simply run
bash -ci "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abelsiqueira/jill/master/jill.sh)"
If you want to avoid using sudo, create a folder, add it to your PATH and then issue
JULIA_INSTALL=yourfolder bash -ci "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abelsiqueira/jill/master/jill.sh)"
To download a specific supported version, use
JULIA_VERSION=x.y.z bash -ci "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abelsiqueira/jill/master/jill.sh)"
Where x.y.z
is the desired version. Notice that the script only searches the main page
for supported versions. That means that older unmaintaned versions can't be found.
