Installation

1. Install Julia version 1.5.3 from https://julialang.org/downloads
   • Add julia to the command line PATH: This will make julia available anywhere on the command line.
     • Windows

       Follow these instructions (https://helpdeskgeek.com/windows-10/add-windows-path-environment-variable/) and add the Julia `bin` directory to your User PATH environment variable (replacing with your actual Julia installation location).

       C:\<PATH_TO_JULIA>\Julia-1.5.3\bin\
       

     • Linux

       Edit your `~/.bashrc` to add the following line (replacing with your actual Julia installation location):

       export PATH=$PATH:/<PATH_TO_JULIA>/bin/
       

     • Mac OS X

       Open a terminal and run the following (this will create a`julia` alias and place it in `/usr/local/bin` which is already on the terminal path):

       sudo sh -c 'mkdir -p /usr/local/bin && ln -fs "/Applications/Julia-1.5.app/Contents/Resources/julia/bin/julia" /usr/local/bin/julia'
       

2. Install Git from https://git-scm.com/downloads
3. Open a terminal and run:

   git clone https://github.com/sisl/AA120Q
   cd AA120Q
   julia install.jl

4. Test the installation by opening julia and running:

] test AA120Q

Running Pluto

1. Open a terminal and run julia (or you can open the Julia application itself)
2. Inside Julia, run the following commands:

using Pluto
Pluto.run()

• You should see an http://localhost:#### url you can open in a browser (this will open Pluto!)
