I did this in my tests and found an issue with this chocolatey approach:

If your own user account (say "user) is not privileged you have to run powershell as another privileged user (e.g “admin”). Julia is than installed in the home of “admin” and not in “user” and therefor not directly accessible for “user”.

In general I never had any issue with just downloading the installer from

install and run as current user without any admin rights.
