About juliaup

juliaup is the recommended way to install Julia. It automatically installs the latest stable julia binary and helps keep it up to date. It also supports installing and using different versions of Julia simultaneously. To install different Julia versions, see juliaup --help.

If you need to manually download and install specific Julia versions, see the Manual Downloads page. Julia supports all the major operating systems, but specific versions and architectures have different tiers of support.

Official domains

The following domains are official and used by open source Julia infrastructure for serving content and resources:

If you are using Julia behind a firewall that blocks access to these, you may have trouble downloading and installing Julia packages. If this is the case, please ask your sysadmin to add these domains to the firewall allow list. Traffic can be limited to HTTPS (TCP port 443).

IP Address Retention Policy

Julia comes with a built-in package manager which downloads and installs packages from the Internet. In doing so, it necessarily reveals your public IP address to any server you connect to, and service providers may log your IP address. In Julia versions 1.5 and higher, by default the package manager connects to https://pkg.julialang.org, a free public service operated by the Julia project to serve open source package resources to Julia users. This service retains IP address logs for up to 31 days.
