Julia lectures cannot be compiled on Google colab #292

Open shlff opened 6 months ago

shlff commented 6 months ago

Hi @jlperla , I tried to launch our Julia lectures on Google Colab using the link on the top right corner of our website,

e.g. this one: https://julia.quantecon.org/getting_started_julia/julia_essentials.html

but the lectures can't be compiled on Google Colab.

I wonder if there is any better solution to run the Julia lectures on the cloud service.

Thanks @shlff

Sadly, I think that colab just never happened for Julia. There were some workarounds a few years ago, but I don't think they are maintainable. I think we should add in an issue to remove that from the template (which I am unable to do myself).

As for other cloud options, binderhub mostly works, I believe? Try the link on https://github.com/QuantEcon/lecture-julia.notebooks to see what you think.

There are others out there, but not sure if it is possible to launch from a link like this. We used to have public hubs, but they are not available now, sadly.
