Installing and running Julia in Juno #132

Closed ssingleton closed 8 years ago

ssingleton commented 8 years ago

Please forgive this noob question. I couldn't find where to download the Juno Bundle and attempted the manual install. When I open the command palette and type Julia, I do not see that Julia-related commands are now available. And I am not sure how to connect Atom and Julia together.

I am just trying to get to a setting where I am comfortable: doing statistics and econometrics. I am used to being able to open MATLAB or R and just start importing data and multiplying matrices...

This is what I am getting and I am not sure where to go next:

Thank you in advance for your help!

The path should point to ...\julia-0.4.3\bin\julia.exe (instead of ...\julia) and can be changed by opening the control panel via Ctrl-Shift-P, typing Settings View: Open, and navigating to Packages -> julia-client -> Settings.

That said, there will probably be some more errors should you try to open julia in a project folder in your user directory (see #128). As soon as we tag a new version of the relevant packages, you should update and that error will be fixed as well.

ssingleton commented 8 years ago

is there a bundle that can run the install for me?

I keep getting one of these two errors:

No, the there were some problems associated with using the bundles, so until someone fixes them there aren't any. The pictures didn't come through, btw. It should be enough to just append .exe to the Julia Path in the settings, so let me know if that doesn't work.

ssingleton commented 8 years ago

I did append to .exe. And I still get these responses:

Yeah, the path setting is correct in the second screenshot. What you're seeing there is #128, which will be fixed in the next release.

ssingleton commented 8 years ago

Does this mean that I just wait until the next release (of Juno, Atom or Julia) comes out? Is there anything I can do?

pfitzseb commented 8 years ago

The new versions are being pushed right this moment, so you should be able to update the relevant plugins (julia-client, ink and Atom.jl in Julia) and should be good to go. Thanks for the patience!

Edit: You may need to do Pkg.checkout("Atom") until the new version is approved, or you can just wait a bit.

ssingleton commented 8 years ago

Thank you for the attention!

I'll update the relevant plug ins and respond with my success. Do I need to reinstall Juno or Atom?

No, it should be enough to just go the package settings in Atom and click the update button there. The Julia package (Atom.jl) can then be updated after you get Juno to work.

ssingleton commented 8 years ago

omg, it works! now I can start programming. Thank you so much!

By the way, I want a pane to show what variables, data and functions I have created or uploaded. How do I make this appear?

Also, is there a pane that I can query to ask for help, i.e. what does the command "collect()" do and what arguments does it take? I'd like a dedicated pane to answer both help queries and display graphs. (i am effectively trying to get Juno to behave a little like R Studio)

I have already successfully made it do a few other things that are important to me, so thank you for that!

And thank you again for answering my question and updating the packages to solve my problem!!

This is basically what we're aiming for over time, but things like the workspace aren't implemented just yet. You can get basic help by typing ?collect into the console.

pfitzseb commented 8 years ago

Great! :)

ssingleton commented 8 years ago

Cool. I'm just happy to already have this available and that you all are investing so much time to make this work -- seriously, thank you!!

until then, I still have pen and paper, and my projects are not that complex yet as I am still trying to learn Julia!

Is there a listhost I can sign up for that will inform me when Juno updates and what new features become available?

(also, we can close this issue now, too)

  • Your first point isn't really implemented yet, unfortunately, but there has been some work on it.
  • You can get docs for a method by pressing Ctrl-J Ctrl-D when the cursor is over that method (it looks a bit ugly, but works).
  • Ctrl-J Ctrl-P will open the plot pane, but not many plotting packages will display in there yet. Gadfly should definitely work though. More to come soonish, I think.
