Hi

I am trying to load atom on julia, but not succeeding. I am getting this Julia could not be started.

‘“julia”’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

We tried to launch Julia from: `julia` This path can be changed in the settings.

How can I change the path for julia to run on atom properly?

You’ll either need to add the full path (location) of `julia.exe` to the PATH, as is described [here](https://julialang.org/downloads/platform/#adding_julia_to_path_on_windows_10), or use the full path in the `julia-client settings` in Atom.
