Unable to start julia (libjulia.so not found).

Good day everyone!

I'd like to report that I just tested julia and I get this error:

15:15 ~ $ which julia
/usr/bin/julia

15:15 ~ $ julia
julia: error while loading shared libraries: libjulia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It's the same error even if I use the generic julia binary for linux.

Hi there! Julia isn't officially supported yet -- it's on our to-do list, and I've added an upvote on your behalf. It looks like there are a couple of PPA packages we'd need to add to our standard server install.

Thank you very much @Giles, that would be indeed very, very nice!


This will install the most up to date and stable julia release (currently v0.3.7) on an Ubuntu system:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:staticfloat/juliareleases
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:staticfloat/julia-deps
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install julia

Official Julia PPAs:

  • Julia releases PPA.
  • Julia dependendies PPA.

Thanks! I've added a link to this discussion to the ticket.

Since glastonbury system image, julia is confirmed to work on PythonAnywhere. To upgrade your system image, see: https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/ChangingSystemImage/.
