Not sure why it doesn’t pick up the julia you install via `apt`. However, it doesn’t really matter as the version is 0.4 which is pre-stone age.

Anyway, you downloaded the binary and within that folder there should be a `julia` executable. You can run it with

```julia
cd julia-1.6.3
./julia

```

You probably don’t want to run it as root though. Also set your `PATH` in .bashrc to pick up the julia executable.

Probably (from your home):  
./julia-1.6.3/bin/julia
