The informations, that you give are not precise enough. Which Windows version do you have? How do you launch julia? Are you sure, that you do not have to versions of julia on your computer?
On Linux, for me the following was sufficient to upgrade julia 0.4 to 0.4.7-pre+3: git pull git checkout v0.4.6 make -j4 ./julia If I type git checkout again, I get the same message: HEAD ist jetzt bei 2e358ce... Tag v0.4.6 Sometimes it is needed to do make clean make distclean make -j4 For details on Windows look here: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/README.windows.md Good luck! And: Installing the binary distribution as explained in the link above (no installer, just extracting the downloaded file) is probably the easiest way to go.
