-Make sure you have Julia-lang installed. You can check with your system administrator to see if you already have Julia-lang installed. If not, you can either ask your system administrator to install it for you or you can install it yourself if permitted. On macOS, the best way to install Julia is via `Homebrew https://brew.sh`_.
