  • Install Julia (1.10 or later recommended) from https://julialang.org
  • Explore the extensive documentation at https://docs.julialang.org
  • Launch Julia and use the ] key to enter its package manager.
  • Add any packages needed for these notebooks using the add command.
  • For example add Plots to add the Plots package.
  • Other crucial standard packages are FFTW FFTViews
  • You will also need the package IJulia to run any Jupyter demo notebooks.
  • Add MIRT by typing add MIRT (Automatically loads from https://github.com/JeffFessler/MIRT.jl because MIRT.jl is a registered package.)
  • Type precompile to have Julia precompile the added packages.
  • After you are done adding packages, press the backspace key to return to the REPL prompt.
  • Later if you need to add more packages just type the ] key again at the REPL prompt to enter the package manager.
  • Julia is under active development so code is updated frequently. It is a wise to type up (short for update) at the package manager prompt every week or so to get automatic updates of any packages you have installed.
