Hello, I have [re]installed julia on several windows and linux systems over the last 2 or 3 years with little problem but I’m having trouble on a fresh install of Ubuntu 17.x I’m sure I’m probably overlooking something but I’m not sure what. I have looked through all of the instructions and do not see anything I missed.
I was expecting to download the appropriate file, extract and then install by right-click->Run or just double clicking be able to install julia.
Since that did not work I tried looking for specific install instruction for the Terminal but I found nothing that worked or was otherwise useful for my case.
One possibility I have considered is that since this is a fresh Ubuntu install I may need to install something critical for installing julia.
…either way, I would love to hear your thoughts.
There’s really no install required on Ubuntu. Just extract the downloaded folder and put it somewhere on your hard drive. I keep mine in ~/apps/julia-0.6
You then just have to make sure the Julia executable (inside the bin folder) is available to your shell. You can add that bin folder to your PATH environment variable, or create a symlink from /usr/local/bin/julia to the bin/julia in the downloaded folder. I prefer the second option.
Just a guess, but if right-click->run doesn’t work maybe it just needs to be made executable. Have you tried chmod +x julia on the julia binary just in case?
@rdeits Thanks for that suggestion. I tried it and so far have not gotten it to work though.
@nsmith That is actually a great suggestion and I feel like you may be about right in where the problem might lie …but so far it hasn’t worked for me. Although, the appearance of the Icon would imply that it’s an executable file it does not run.
Here is the output from a few things I tried in the terminal also:
travis@travis-Inspiron-One-2330:~/apps/julia6/bin$ chmod +x julia
travis@travis-Inspiron-One-2330:~/apps/julia6/bin$ chmod +x julia.run
chmod: cannot access 'julia.run': No such file or directory
travis@travis-Inspiron-One-2330:~/apps/julia6/bin$ sudo ./julia
./julia: 1: ./julia: ELF�@�@8: not found
./julia: 2: ./julia: Syntax error: ")" unexpected
travis@travis-Inspiron-One-2330:~/apps/julia6/bin$ ./julia
bash: ./julia: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
Ok so it was certainly executable. The ELF stuff smells a bit like trying to run a 32 bit library on a 64 bit machine or vice versa. Is there any chance you downloaded the wrong package for your architecture?
Ok, well I deleted all previous Julia related files from my directories before downloading a fresh new 64 bit copy and setting it up again. So far I still have the same problem.
Wait! HAHAHA YES! It’s working now. Well… in part. The right click won’t let me run it but in the Terminal ~/apps/julia6/bin$ ./julia is now working. Not sure why but I’m glad to have it running.
There may be a few things I can do to sort out any other details. I’m really not sure what the problem was and what fixed it. I really appreciate the help. Thanks!
I can’t run julia anymore on ubuntu (julia runs but ijulia doesn’t), I used xenial and after bionic. There is still julia-0.4-7 in the repo… LOL
I have a lot of julia notebooks but it’s too much a paint to try to make it running.
Regards
Please describe what you tried, and the error messages.
If julia works from the command line but then using IJulia; notebook() does not, then in particular the error message will be helpful. Also see the IJulia README.
