Hello everyone! I am totally new to programming and I have just installed the latest version of Julia on my notebook. I want to use the Jupyter notebook so I have also installed the Anaconda software.  
I know I must install the IJulia package (and it says that IJulia needs 8 more packages), but where do I put the packages? In what directory?  
Please help as I am a complete noob and want to learn this.  
Thank you in advance

Open julia REPL and type: `] add IJulia`
