Hi,

In the Juno IDE, after creating a new Julia file and press cmd+enter to run a command in it, it briefly highlights the line as though it’s going to run it, but then it’s never sent to the REPL. When I open the Terminal and type commands directly into the REPL it works fine however.

This is Atom 1.40.1 + Juno 0.10.1 on a fresh install.

Any ideas appreciated.

Thx!

A few points to clarify:

- Are you looking for output in what is opened from `Juno > Open Console` or `Juno > Open REPL`?
- Are the key bindings configured correctly? You can try launching these manually with `cmd-shift-p` to open the command panel, then type `julia run` to see and select from all the related commands.
- Does cell evaluation work? For example, try placing your cursor at the end of the `println` statement and press `Alt-Enter`.

```julia
## beginning of cell
println("Hello")
## end of cell

```

- I’m using Juno \> Open Console
- Key bindings appear to be ok, just the defaults. This is a pristine install.
- As mentioned, it appears to try and evaluate the line by drawing slanted progress lines on the line and then displaying a sprocket afterwards. But no output appears in the console.

Here’s a screenshot:

That screenshot is helpful. Looks like a `julia-client` error. Could you post the full console error log and the output of package status?  
press `]` then type `status` in the repl.

Ah ok, scrolling up in the console I found the error that the juno client wasn’t installed. After installing it in the REPL then it worked. So possibly there’s a doc update needed?

I followed the docs here for OSX:  
[https://docs.junolab.org/latest/man/installation/](https://docs.junolab.org/latest/man/installation/)

So installing the uber-juno from Atom didn’t seem to fully install it it seems
