Installation

For Julia development on openSUSE, the preferred method to install julia is via juliaup.

It is a version manager like rust's rustup that allows multiple versions of julia to be installed, updated and maintained.

You can install the juliaup tool in two ways:

openSUSE repos (recommended)

Warning: While we also offer unofficial binaries AND follow closely to how it was built upstream EXCEPT with some non-impactful dependencies e.g. MPFR, and Curl, there might be unexpected breakages from time to time. It is recommended to use juliaup.

To install:

Special cases

In the case you have installed both julia and juliaup, please do not run the julialauncher binary from juliaup as it might point to another version of julia and might lead to errors. Always run julia or do update-alternatives (this is already done through install too but you can manually set an alternative julia provider).
