Hello everyone
I need help using CoolpProp in Julia. I have been using CoolProp in Python, but I would like to try it in Julia to improve code speed. I’m a Linux user. I followed the guide on the CoolProp site about Julia wrapper but haven’t been able to use it. Could someone point me the correct steps to use the Coolprop shared library in Julia?
thanks
Michael

Realize that if you spend most of your computation time in the CoolProp library, then it won’t be any faster calling it from Julia than from Python. Julia code (properly written) has a speed advantage only for your _own_ performance-critical code.

Depending on your application, you may also want to take a look at [Clapeyron.jl](https://github.com/ypaul21/Clapeyron.jl), a pure-Julia thermofluids package.

If you still want to try out `Coolprop` in julia,
here are step-by-step instructions in a temporary environment
(they will be in the README when [https://github.com/CoolProp/CoolProp.jl/pull/14](https://github.com/CoolProp/CoolProp.jl/pull/14) is merged):
```julia
# type a closing bracket ] to enter package mode
(@v1.6) pkg> activate --temp
Activating new environment at `/tmp/jl_1ZD3mT/Project.toml`
# add the package from its url
(jl_1ZD3mT) pkg> add https://github.com/CoolProp/CoolProp.jl.git
Updating `/tmp/jl_1ZD3mT/Project.toml`
[e084ae63] + CoolProp v0.0.0 `https://github.com/CoolProp/CoolProp.jl.git#master`
Updating `/tmp/jl_1ZD3mT/Manifest.toml`
# hit backspace to get back to the main REPL prompt, then use CoolProp
