ThisVS Code extension provides support for theJulia programming language.

1. Install Julia for your platform:https://julialang.org/downloads/

   1. Start VS Code.
   2. Inside VS Code, go to the extensions view either byexecuting theView: Show Extensions command (click View->Command Palette...)or by clicking on the extension icon on the left side of the VS Codewindow.
   3. In the extensions view, simply search for the termjulia in the marketplacesearch box, then select the extension namedJulia 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, orif the Julia binary is on yourPATH, the Julia VS Code extension shouldautomatically find your Julia installation and you should not need toconfigure anything.

If the extension does not find your Julia installation automatically, orif you want to use a different Julia installation than the default one,you can set thejulia.executablePath to point to the Julia executablethat the extension should use. In that case theextension will always use that version of Julia. To edit your configurationsettings, execute thePreferences: Open User Settings command (you canalso access it via the menuFile->Preferences->Settings), andthen make sure your user settings include thejulia.executablePathsetting. The format of the string should follow your platform specificconventions, and be aware that the backlash\ is the escape characterin JSON, so you need to use\\ as the path separator character on Windows.
