You are already in Julia, you don’t need to add it using Pkg.

You are looking for `IJulia` (note the `I`), not `Julia`.

Thanks, what’s the difference between “IJulia” and “Julia”? I use \>Pkg.add(“IJulia”) instead, it is right.

The package [`IJulia` exists](https://github.com/JuliaLang/IJulia.jl), `Julia` doesn’t.

The name IJulia is probably inspired by IPython, which was the origin of the Jupyter notebook. IPython stands for “Interactive Python”, so you can think of IJulia as an “Interactive Julia”.  
Julia is the underlying language that compiles and runs your code. IJulia is a connecting layer that makes it possible to run Julia from Jupyter.
