Would it be possible to make it really easy to try this out on Win 11?

If @sinisterMage isn’t able to turn this around quickly, consider using [Ubuntu Multipass](https://canonical.com/multipass) which easily creates a virtual Ubuntu instances, at least on macOS. That has the advantage of leaving your Windows’ Julia environment unaffected and may provide an entry intro other Julia packages that are not Windows friendly. The only painpoint is graphics display. You have to save to file and open natively, because the virtual instance acts as a headless server.

Cool. But, alas, I could not get the desired environment to be recognized.  
I opened the folder, and I started a terminal. In the repl I could see that Julia started in the right environment. The IDE did not reflect that – it still showed the global env. I could not change in any way.

I am really glad to try the new IDE on windows. But I cannot get access to LSP. However, I have installed LanguageServer.jl and vscode, sublime text and zed can find LSP.

i apologize for the lack of updates for JulIDE, there is now a new release fixing some major and minor bugs [Release julIDE v0.2.0 · sinisterMage/JulIde · GitHub](https://github.com/sinisterMage/JulIde/releases/tag/v0.2.0)  
note that most windows (win64) bugs have not been fixed due to me not having a windows machine to test on, if anyone is interested in helping me test on windows, please let me know! and again, i am very sorry for not updating in a while

❤ Thank you @sinisterMage.

And yeah, I just love seeing some development in the Julia tooling space. It is basically what kills or grows a language to me and developers should have options (!). So I loved that you gave it another spin. I’ve been following up ever since your first post and was truly wondering where you’ve been in the past months. I wanted to post here before, but decided against, because there could be plenty of reasons and I didn’t want to call you out openly.

But anyway you are doing a really good job, so keep it up.

thank you! @madppiper

i totally agree, and i sincerely hope that JulIDE will inspire other good tooling to come up, or even more IDEs, i dont mind competition 😉

life can be rough sometimes, especially where i am, but that wont stop me completely!

and to the Julia community: i hope JulIDE can serve as a decent option for your development environment! however, i still need to get windows testing done somehow for v1.0 to come, i think paralles on macOS might work, but i am not sure

update: JulIDE is now available via homebrew tap on macOS  
simply run the following commands to install

```julia-auto
brew tap Julideorg/tap
brew install --cask julide 

```

make sure to run the tap command before installing  
thank you!  
(note: JulIDE binaries are still unsigned due to a lack of budget, the homebrew tap will clear quarantine automaticly, if you wish to have more control over that, please download the dmg normally

minor update: JulIDE 0.3.1 is out! this release updates JulIDE dependenices to newer versions and fixes a bug on some Linux setups where the app wouldnt launch due to mesa/egl/graphics errors (note: the real bug is upstream in webkit, but this minor update works around it)
