(https://github.com/abelsiqueira/jill) is a tool for installing and updating that I created in 2017. Originally it was made to download the latest Julia and link it in my /usr/local/bin. Now, it allows installing any Julia version, including release candidates (-rc versions). One simple usage would be:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abelsiqueira/jill/main/jill.sh > jill.sh
sudo bash jill.sh

Although is not officially adopted, it still has many users (me included), so I happily dedicate some time to maintain it. Our latest improvement was creating an automated workflow to check for new Julia versions, which is why the current Jill version can already install Julia 1.9.0.

Thanks to all users of .

abelsiqueira,

Hi @tschenkel, juliaup was created around 2021. There is some history here: https://github.com/abelsiqueira/jill/issues/33.

I never used it, but from what I understand:

  • Juliaup supports all OSs.
  • Jill works with Linux and OSX, and it might work with WSL, but I don't give any support for Windows.
  • Juliaup is written in Rust
  • Jill is written in Bash
  • Juliaup is a large project with many features.
  • Jill is lightweight with simple goals.
  • Juliaup has >1 maintainer

abelsiqueira,

@tschenkel Good to hear. I will give it a try eventually.

Episode 3 of @JuliaLanguage Journey is out. It is a short video about Julia types. Beginners will find it informative and intermediate users might like just to see how the type tree below is made.
