I am having a really tuff time trying to figure out how to generate a redistributable executable with julia. Can you point me in the right direction on a the main webpage to where this is explained in detail?

I would have thought that changing things for good should be encouraged? :wink: The solution that I proposed can constrain the user to run precisely what is intended, however.

If you want the local lumber yard to design a beam that the building department will accept, it needs to be done by a trained technician using software approved by the building department. Not something that would allow open source software. (Edit, this is the only use case in our jurisdiction tha…

There are only degrees of guarantees that your users can’t modify your code. Even compiled binaries can be modified. But it’s often not even that hard, a great deal of modern commercial software is based on interpreted code where the source is inside the application. Anything web based (whether serv…
