I’m trying to ship my Julia simulation to a collaborator (who is not a programmer) and since a few attempts failed, I’m asking here for advice to do it better next time. Setting: I have basically one package and one script which my collaborator should run. (and he should be able to update the simu…

I have not used Docker before, but it sounds potentially useful. Aside from that, I would recommend creating a package with a Project.toml file and sharing it through github or any method that works for your collaborator. Put something like this at the top of your main script: cd(@__DIR__) using P…

You might also checkout PackageComiler.jl . According to the documentation, you can create standalone executables.

DrWatson.jl is designed with things like this in mind, I’d suggest you take a look. [image] GitHub - JuliaDynamics/DrWatson.jl: The perfect sidekick to your scientific... The perfect sidekick to your scientific inquiries. Contribute to JuliaDynamics/DrWatson.jl development by creating a…

I’m actually already using DrWatson.jl. But it requires a Julia REPL to start with. My problems were all related to get a Julia REPL in a comfortable environment to run. PackageCompiler would be an option. I use it to to precompile Plots (it was actually one of the batch scripts in approach 2.). Do…

[image] SteffenPL: Maybe just plain Julia is most bullet-proof? I would go for that if your collaborator can deal with the REPL for simple commands. Understanding the workflow and configuring an IDE is more complicated than copying and pasting commands, not mentioning that some IDEs are very …

Would it be possible to make a lightweight interface with PyJulia and create an executable with PyInstaller. This might work if PyInstaller includes non-Python dependencies.

Try the JuliaWin Portable Distribution .

[image] SteffenPL: Window’s zip doesn’t support long filenames, which were created when the packages are installed Using 7zip or whatever? You can also make self-extracting archives with it

That looks very promising. That’s exactly what I was looking for. I will try it!

Would this help? A portable Julia installation, which pops up VS code when everything is done right in the script that you’d like the person to run.
