Julia 1.8.0 is now available via conda-forge Linux and Mac OS X running on Intel x86\_64 processors.

[https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/julia](https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/julia)

Please direct any issues with that build to the julia-feedstock repository within conda-forge:

>
> A conda-smithy repository for julia. Contribute to conda-forge/julia-feedstock development by creating an account on GitHub.

Also please note the activate.sh script which attempts to isolate julia within the conda environment and which implements Conda.jl and CondaPkg.jl integration.

> <https://github.com/conda-forge/julia-feedstock/blob/main/recipe/scripts/activate.sh>

juliaup is also available on conda-forge and can be used to install julia for other platforms such as `macos-arm64` or `windows`.

These builds are _not_ officially supported and are provided mainly to facilitate the use of Julia in other conda-forge projects. Testing of these builds are less extensive than the builds available via the official Julia binaries available from [julialang.org](http://julialang.org) directly. They are also often combined with dependency versions which have not been  
evaluated to work with Julia or other packages. If you encounter any issues with the conda-forge binaries, please try the official Julia binary distribution:
