 To that end, my plan for using Julia on the Kingsbury N129 computers is for students to download and install the Julia binaries for Windows into a folder on a USB stick. I personally don't know much about Windows, so this will be a bit of an in-class experiment. If it doesn'​t go well, I'll get Academic Technologies to install Julia directly on the Kingsbury N129 computers. ​ To that end, my plan for using Julia on the Kingsbury N129 computers is for students to download and install the Julia binaries for Windows into a folder on a USB stick.

 +====== The Julia REPL ======
 +
 +The simplest way to run Julia is via the Julia REPL (read-eval-print-loop). Once you install Julia, you can start the REPL by double-clicking on the executable file (Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux) by calling Julia from the command-line (Linux). ​
 +
 +If you are running Julia on JuliaBox, you will need to click the Console tab at the top. You will see a Linux command line prompt like this ''​juser@juliabox:​~$''​. Type ''​julia''​ after that prompt and hit "​enter"​.
 +
 +You should see something like this
 +
 +<​code>​
 +               _

 +  (_)     | (_) (_)    |  Documentation:​ http://​docs.julialang.org
 +   _ _   _| |_  __ _   ​| ​ Type "?​help"​ for help.

 +|__/                   ​| ​ x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
 +
 +</​code>​
 +
 +The ''​julia>''​ at the end is the Julia prompt. Type an expression there (e.g. 3+4) and hit the enter key. You should see this. 
 +
 +<​code>​
 +julia> 3+4
