Hi, I have installed Julia and Atom with Juno, but doesn’t work!  
Atom says in Consolle “Press Enter to start Julia” but Julia don’t start like in a loop and the consolle doesn’t show other messagges. The path for the Julia binary is correct. What can be the problem?

Maybe one of these two will work under Julia → Settings:

Uncheck “Enable Powershell Wrapper”

or

Under “Console Options” change from “REPL-based” to “Legacy”.

[This](https://github.com/JunoLab/atom-julia-client/issues/443#issuecomment-422489272) might also help.

Thanks, now Julia works!  
The problem was in the console options and now that I have changed from REPL-based in Legacy it’s ok, only every time that I run a block of code the console write “Atom.JunoEditorInput x-\> nothing”.

I just applied the solution in pfitzseb’s link. I guess McAfee antivirus was suppressing a particular .exe file.

[Info and intructions from McAfee’s website](https://service.mcafee.com/webcenter/portal/oracle/webcenter/page/scopedMD/s55728c97_466d_4ddb_952d_05484ea932c6/Page29.jspx?wc.contextURL=%2Fspaces%2Fcp&locale=en-US&articleId=TS102056&_afrLoop=4285863759718746&leftWidth=0%25&showFooter=false&showHeader=false&rightWidth=0%25&centerWidth=100%25#!%40%40%3FshowFooter%3Dfalse%26locale%3Den-US%26_afrLoop%3D4285863759718746%26articleId%3DTS102056%26leftWidth%3D0%2525%26showHeader%3Dfalse%26wc.contextURL%3D%252Fspaces%252Fcp%26rightWidth%3D0%2525%26centerWidth%3D100%2525%26_adf.ctrl-state%3Dr9f5isodo_9)

The path should be something like: `C:\Users\you\.atom\packages\julia-client\node_modules\node-pty-prebuilt\build\Release\winpty-agent.exe`

This solution seems better than what I had suggested earlier.
