Dear all,

I installed the Julia Visual Code extension on the remote server. When I press cmd+shift+p and then type Julia: Start REPL, I get the following error: “Command ‘Julia: Start REPL’ resulted in an error (command ‘language-julia.startREPL’ not found)”. What can I do about it?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Best,

Jan

I solved the issue myself.

In our cluster we have a login-node and several computational nodes. Julia is not installed on the login-node. So you have to directly log in on the computational node with the Remote-SSH extension. I did that as follows:

Host loginnode  
HostName [addressserver.com](http://addressserver.com)  
User username  
ForwardX11 yes

Host computationalnode  
HostName addressnode  
User username  
ForwardX11 yes  
ProxyJump loginnode

ForwardX11 is needed for displaying plots.
