Is Julia compatible with Mac OS Monterey?

leon · October 29, 2021, 1:09am

I plan to upgrade my operating system to the latest Mac OS Monterey. Anyone knows if Julia is compatible with it?

Many thanks.

Hey!

Great question,
Julia is currently compatible with macOS 10.9 Mavericks and later releases.

I think there is an issue with updating packages. It’s already being taken care of, judging by the issue in github.

edit: here is the issue

FWIW, I’m on Monterey and Julia runs just fine for me (Intel MacBook).

I am on Monterey with my M1 MacBook, I get the errors mentioned in the issue, but compared to my comments in there, in the final (non-beta) version fro yesterday, the packages seem to still be downloaded and seem to work.

So it seems if you are on an M1 chip, maybe wait for the next Julia release, where the issue mentioned should be fixed (both in 1.6 and in the next 1.7rc).

Hmm, encouraged by these messages I also installed Monterey 12.0.1 this morning.

Julia 1.6.3 produces the Curl messages but otherwise seems to work fine.

Julia 1.7-RC2 immediately fails with:

Same issue as Cannot start Julia 1.7 rc2

carstenbauer · October 30, 2021, 1:05pm

Hm, that’s curious. It works for me:

goedman · October 30, 2021, 1:49pm

Sure, I believe you. I have Xcode Version 13.1 (13A1030), could be one of many other variables in play here.

carstenbauer · October 30, 2021, 1:51pm

I have

➜  ~  /usr/bin/xcodebuild -version
Xcode 13.0
Build version 13A233

goedman · October 30, 2021, 1:59pm

What version is your perl (perl -v)? My system has v5.30.0.

carstenbauer · October 31, 2021, 11:12am

➜  ~  perl -v | grep version
This is perl 5, version 30, subversion 3 (v5.30.3) built for darwin-thread-multi-2level

giordano · October 31, 2021, 11:27pm

The issue is now tracked by https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/42875.

goedman · November 3, 2021, 1:04pm

This link solved both the 1.7-RC2 and 1.8-DEV on Intel for me.
