I am trying to connect a remote Julia session using atom. I want to be able to use the REPL when I run my code. I have been following closely the tutorial laid out in the official documentation ([Connecting to a Julia session on a remote machine · Juno Documentation](https://docs.junolab.org/stable/man/remote/#Connecting-to-a-Julia-session-on-a-remote-machine)), but still appear to be running into some problems.

I have successfully installed “ftp-remote-edit” package on Julia and linked to the server. I can access files on the server in Atom. I can also open a remote terminal instance inside of atom.

What I cannot do: I can’t open a “Remote Julia Process” (Juno → Start Remote Julia Process). When I do, I get the following error: " Remote Julia session could not be started. We tried to launch Julia from `julia` but the process failed with `1` . Please make sure your settings are correct.". When I searched the error, I didn’t get anything that was particularly helpful. The REPL also spits out some weird errors. They are:  
“Unmatched ‘’'.  
#: Command not found.  
if: Expression Syntax.  
Badly placed ()'s.  
else: endif not found.”

I’ve also attached a picture of what I am seeing.

I’m not really sure what to make of it and I don’t have the slightest idea of where to start to fix this issue.  
If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate them!

Thank you!
