The "julia" executable inside *Julia-0.3.0.app/Contents/MacOS* is a wrapper executable that launches a terminal and runs the true julia executable inside it. You can get at the true julia executable by adding *Julia-0.3.0.app/Contents/resources/julia/bin* to your path. Note that Christoph's line is adding some extra paths to his PATH, not just Julia's. Just adding Julia's path to your PATH environment variable is done via:
*export PATH="/Applications/Julia-0.3.0.app/Contents/resources/julia/bin:$PATH* Assuming, of course, that your *Julia-0.3.0.app* file is in */Applications*. It doesn't need to be, you can run it from anywhere, but putting it there is rather standard, I suppose. -E On Tue, Sep 2, 2014 at 8:28 AM, Christoph Ortner <christophortn...@gmail.com > wrote: > The file `~/.bash_profile' should contain something like this: > > export PATH="~/Dropbox/Admin/scripts:/Applications/Julia-0.3.0.app/ > Contents/MacOS:/Users/ortner/anaconda/bin:$PATH" > > However, it will always open a new terminal, rather than opening julia in > your current terminal.
