## Simple cross platform Julia installer

Please also consider using [JuliaUp](https://github.com/JuliaLang/juliaup), especially for Windows. See comparison at the bottom of this file.

Note: this is a Julia package that requires Julia 1.0 or higher to run. If you would like to install Julia and don't have at least Julia 1.0 installed already, please visit https://julialang.org/downloads.

\* Unix has somewhat loose conventions for install locations. If you already have Julia installed in a location that falls within those conventions, UpdateJulia will install the new version of Julia right next to the one you are currently using.
