Dear users,  
I have a problem regarding the installation of Julia and Atom-Juno. I followed the steps described in [http://docs.junolab.org/stable/man/installation/index.html](http://docs.junolab.org/stable/man/installation/index.html). Then I ran Julia but I got the following error:

Julia could not be started.  
‘“julia”’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,  
operable program or batch file.

I guess I have to change the path or something like that. **Can someone please explain how to do it _step by step_?**  
I’m a bit annoyed by the fact that it’s not user-friendly at all to install Julia with Atom (in comparison, way easier to install Matlab or even Fortran with Visual studio as IDE!)
