I’m new to Julia although I’ve studied the basics and I’n now wanting to investigate GTK. This is a daft question, but how do I run Glade presumably from the REPL?

if it’s installed, call from shell mode

```julia
l8@cyan5:~$ which glade
/usr/bin/glade
l8@cyan5:~$ ./julia-1.6.0/bin/julia

Thankyou. How do I install Glade? I thought it got installed with the Gtk package.

I found out partially how to do it. I installed Windows MSYS2 and did

```julia
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-glade

```

This went through the motions and seemed to install glade on my desktop.  
But when I do shell\> glade I get the following error:  
ERROR: IOError: could not spawn `glade`: no such file or directory (ENOENT)

Help would be greatly appreciated ☹

Doing a search of the C: drive in explorer for glade didn’t come up with anything

Oops I didn’t give the search long enough: glade.exe is in C:\msys64\mingw64\bin
