Hello,
I installed Julia on a computer that is a member of a Windows domain network, but it requires an administrator account to run. Why?
Thank you.
How did you install it?
You should not need administrator privileges to run julia

It good that you’re trying out Julia (finally), but how did you install?
I’m on Linux and use Juliaup, and it should also work on Windows (or other ways like just the Windows binary), I’m not sure, there it might need permissions, but Juliaup is optional.
If it’s some tool, not striclty Julia (or Juliaup), e.g. VS Code:
Can you show the error message (and explain what you already did), usually done my copy-pasting text (most useful when you want to show actual code, not working, for help)? About: “a member of a Windows domain network” might it be that you installed on some network drive you then do not have permission for? It seems unlikely you could then install even…
Some people on Windows have problems because of company firewall, but that would prevent installing in the first place (or packages), I think not a problem after you actually install to run Julia itself alone.

Hi,
I downloaded and installed https://julialang-s3.julialang.org/bin/winnt/x64/1.11/julia-1.11.0-win64.exe.
Hello,
Thank you so much for your reply.
Problem solved. This was due to a mistake in user account permissions.
