Problem installing JuliaPro on Linux Mint 19.1

New to Julia
1

Hi

I am getting back to Julia after years of non-usage. I’ve tried to install JuliaPro on my Linux Mint 19.1 (ie, a flavor of Ubuntu 18.04) desktop using the following steps:

  • Using root account:
    • Created: sudo /usr/lib/julia
    • Set permissions: sudo chmod a+wrx /usr/lib/julia
  • Using my default user:
    • Succesfully installed juliapro as indicated in the quick start guide: ./JuliaPro-1.2.0.1.sh /usr/lib/julia

Atom seems to open after issuing: /usr/lib/julia/JuliaPro-1.2.0-1/Launch_JuliaPro but the interface I see is completely different from the ones illustrated in the quick guide and it does not seem to contain any julia-specific menu items.

atom
atom1036×670 14.8 KB

Moreover, error messages are reported in the shell:
$ ./Launch_JuliaPro
bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device
bash: no job control in this shell
Gtk-Message: 08:26:39.248: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Can you please compare the contents between following folders

/usr/lib/julia/JuliaPro-1.2.0-1/JuliaPro-Juno-1.2.0-1/julia_atom_1.2.0-1

$HOME/.julia_atom_1.2.0-1

They should be exactly the same, if they are not, then please copy the contents of /usr/lib/julia/JuliaPro-1.2.0-1/JuliaPro-Juno-1.2.0-1/julia_atom_1.2.0-1 onto $HOME/.julia_atom_1.2.0-1 , this should solve the issue.

Just a FYI:- You don’t need to install JuliaPro with root privileges, you can install JuliaPro as a non-admin user too.
