:source-highlighter: highlight.js
:highlight-languages: julia

== Installation
First, download Julia from the official website: https://julialang.org/downloads/.

If you are on Windows, follow the instructions of the installer.

Linux users can either download the binary from the website above or install Julia with a package manager if it provides an up to date package (usually named `julia`).

== Installing Pluto
After the installation of Julia, launch Julia to be welcomed by the REPL.

Now, https://github.com/fonsp/Pluto.jl[Pluto] has to be installed to be able to view, edit and run the notebooks of this course.

In the REPL, press `]`. This will cause the prompt to change to a one ending with `pkg>`. Now run the following:

[source]
----
add Pluto
----

After the installation is done, press backspace to get back to the normal prompt ending with `julia>`.

Now, run the following:

[source,julia]
----
import Pluto
Pluto.run()
----

A new tab will open in your browser where you can then open one of the notebooks.
