By all means, give it a try, but do note that JuliaWin appears to be a personal project that is not officially supported. The last release was in 2022, which is quite a while ago. So, it is likely outdated.

I would recommend installing via the standard route first, before trying alternative solutions. I have no experience with JuliaWin (never heard of it), but other alternative installation methods such as `brew` on macOS or system package managers on Linux have been notorious for resulting in broken installations.
