This VS Code extension provides support for the julia programming language.
Getting the julia extension for VS Code to work involves two steps: 1. Install VS Code and 2. Install the julia extension.
Just head over to the VS Code homepage and follow the installation instructions for your platform. At the end of this step you should be able to start VS Code.
First, start VS Code. Inside VS Code, go to the extensions view either by
executing the View: Show Extensions command (click View->Command Palette...)
or by clicking on the extension icon on the left side of the VS Code
window.
In the extensions view, simply search for the term julia in the marketplace
search box, then select the julia extension and click the install button.
You might have to restart VS Code after this step.
If you have installed julia into a standard location on Mac or Windows, or
if the julia binary is on your PATH, the julia VS Code extension should
automatically find your julia installation and you should not need to
configure anything.
If the extension does not find your julia installation automatically, or
if you want to use a different julia installation than the default one,
you can set the julia.executablePath to point to the julia executable
that the extension should use. In that case the
extension will always use that version of julia. To edit your configuration
settings, execute the Preferences: Open User Settings command (you can
also access it via the menu File->Preferences->Settings), and
then make sure your user settings include the julia.executablePath
setting. The format of the string should follow your platform specific
conventions, and be aware that the backlash \ is the escape character
in JSON, so you need to use \\ as the path separator character on Windows.
