I’m trying this out, installing Julia seems to work fine and from the install notebook I see e.g.

But I can’t get a second notebook started “in this same runtime” such that it sees the `julia-1.2` kernel. I’ve tried the hyperlink suggestion from above which doesn’t work (maybe I got the URL wrong?) and I’ve tried uploading into the install session (but then how do I load the new notebook?). In all cases it gives me the `Unrecognized runtime "julia-1.2"; defaulting to "python3"` error. Any tips?
