Julia
This VS Code extension provides support for the Julia programming language.
Getting started
Installing Julia/VS Code/VS Code Julia extension
- Install Julia for your platform: https://julialang.org/downloads/
- Install VS Code for your platform: https://code.visualstudio.com/download
At the end of this step you should be able to start VS Code. - Install the Julia VS Code extension:
- 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 extension namedJulia
and click the install button. You might have to restart VS Code after this step.
Configure the Julia extension
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.
