Hello,

Could you recommend me a package that I can use to find some statistics and how can I install it in Julia by ATOM

Thank you

The standard library [Statistics](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/stdlib/Statistics/) has some basics. Standard libraries are bundled with Julia already, so there is no need to install it. Other than this, a commonly used package is

> **[GitHub - JuliaStats/StatsBase.jl: Basic statistics for Julia](https://github.com/JuliaStats/StatsBase.jl)**
>
> Basic statistics for Julia. Contribute to JuliaStats/StatsBase.jl development by creating an account on GitHub.

If you can be more specific about what statistics you need, it would be easier to recommend other libraries.

See [Pkg · The Julia Language](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/stdlib/Pkg/#Pkg-1) about how to install packages.

`maximum` and `minimum` are in the language, `mean` and `std` are in Statistics. Please do read the relevant manual pages and docstrings (eg `?maximum`, [Statistics · The Julia Language](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/stdlib/Statistics/)).
