Read about juliaup in wonderful [https://modernjuliaworkflows.org/](https://modernjuliaworkflows.org/) blog and wanted to use it as one of suitable best practices. Failed to install juliaup under my Ubuntu 24.04. Error message from curl:

````julia
$ curl -fsSL https://install.julialang.org | sh

info: downloading installer
Warning: Not enforcing strong cipher suites for TLS, this is potentially less secure

````

Google actually didn’t help. Do I understand correctly that juliaup isn’t just yet developed for this Ubuntu version? So can I just wait for them or there’s (relatively) simple way to do it?

Thanks a lot!

I had no problem installing Julia this way on Lubuntu 24.04, so I would would expect that it normally works for Ubuntu 24.04 as well. I am not sure why it does not work for you though, have you tried to simply try again?

Ubuntu has an official Julia Snap package, so if you cannot get Juliaup to work, then you can install the Snap with

```bash
sudo snap install julia --classic

```

It is not recommended to use the snap package. You will likely get an out-of-date julia version with incompatible dependencies.

On my computer the Snap Julia version is 1.11.3 and the publisher is listed as “julialang”, do you have a reference to somewhere that says that installing the Snap is not recommended?

Yes, see the official julia website [here](https://julialang.org/downloads/#please_do_not_use_the_version_of_julia_shipped_by_linux_or_bsd_package_managers)

I’m shocked but trying again in standard way worked for me. Actually I’m sure that I’ve insatlled curl, but when I tried now it appeared to be not installed, so I installed it and everything worked. Thank you.
