I have tried a lot about this problem but could not find a solution. And I can’t use julia at all. Could you help me with it? Thank you a lot.

Hi,

If you want to run Julia 1.7 you must navigate into the bin directory (as you already have), and then type `./julia` (not just `julia`) . Btw. Julia 1.4 isn’t supported anymore, and neither is Julia 1.7…

You likely want to use Julia 1.8 (and in a few days 1.9, it’s even better).

You can download them at the Download page at [Julialang.org](http://Julialang.org), but even better download juliaup first and let it do it for you.

Julia 1.7 isn’t supported any more, while it should still work. It seems to be a setup problem, maybe someone deleted it incorrectly, i.e. just the sysimage sys.so. In rare cases you want to use Julia 1.6 LTS, that is still supported (also with juliaup).

OK. I can solve the problem now. Thank you a lot.
