I will teach a course soon where the students will be provided with examples in the Julia programming language. In order to facilitate the procedure I will supply them with a bundle (zip file) that needs to be expanded (anywhere), and a script that the students double-click to install Julia, required packages, and a portable, preconfigured VSCode that pops up at the end of the installation. For anyone interested: [http://hogwarts.ucsd.edu/~pkrysl/shared/Portable\_Julia.zip](http://hogwarts.ucsd.edu/~pkrysl/shared/Portable_Julia.zip)

The installation is totally local to the expanded folder (it will _not_ clobber any pre-existing Julia installation or depot), which can be anywhere, even on a USB stick. Hence portable Julia environment.
