Build instructions

Linux

The recommended way to install Julia is to download the binaries from the official website, which is distributed in an archive containing a directory called julia-x.y.z. This directory contains several other directories, including a bin directory containing the julia executable.

In order to ensure the julia.h header file can be found, either /usr/include/julia/julia.h must exist, or you have to set the JULIA_DIR environment variable to /path/to/julia-x.y.z. The environment variable can be used to override the default. Similarly, in order to load libjulia.so you must add /path/to/julia-x.y.z/lib to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

Windows

The recommended way to install Julia is to download the installer from the official website, which will install Julia in a folder called Julia-x.y.z. This folder contains several other folders, including a bin folder containing the julia.exe executable. You must set the JULIA_DIR environment variable to the Julia-x.y.z folder and add Julia-x.y.z\bin to the PATH environment variable. For example, if Julia is installed at D:\Julia-x.y.z, JULIA_DIR must be set to D:\Julia-x.y.z and D:\Julia-x.y.z\bin must be added to PATH.

Additionally, MinGW must be installed through Cygwin. To install this and all potentially required dependencies, follow steps 1-4 of the instructions for compiling Julia on Windows using Cygwin and MinGW. You must set the CYGWIN_DIR environment variable to the installation folder of Cygwin; this folder contains some icons, Cygwin.bat and folders with names like usr and bin. For example, if Cygwin is installed at D:\cygwin64, CYGWIN_DIR must be set to D:\cygwin64.

Julia is compatible with the GNU toolchain on Windows. If you use rustup, you can set the toolchain for a project that depends on jl-sys by calling the command rustup override set stable-gnu in the project root folder.
