Technical requirements
In this chapter, we will explore Julia in multiple ways. You will need a computer with an operating system and architecture supported by Julia; most 32-bit and 64-bit computers running recent versions of Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, or macOS are sufficient. You will also need a modern web browser, an internet connection, and Visual Studio Code. Once you have that, this chapter will guide you on the installation of Julia and the required packages.
Also, the code examples are available in the Chapter01
folder of the following GitHub repository: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Interactive-Visualization-and-Plotting-with-Julia. In particular, the JuliaTypes.jl
Pluto notebook has the code examples for the Knowing the basic Julia types for data visualization section and BasicPlots.jl
the examples for the Creating a Basic Plot section. You will find in the same folder the static HTML version of both notebooks with the embedded outputs.
