Error with Julia + Juno IDE bundle installation on Windows 10

[Mike Kipling]

Hi,

I downloaded the juno-windows-x64.zip file and extracted the files. I do not see a installer for Julia. When I run the Juno.exe file I get the following messages:

ERROR: Requires not found
in require at loading.jl:47
in include at boot.jl:245
in include_from_node1 at loading.jl:128
in reload_path at loading.jl:152
in _require at loading.jl:67

in include at boot.jl:245
in include_from_node1 at loading.jl:128
in process_options at client.jl:285
in _start at client.jl:354

I then downloaded the and executed the file julia-0.4.3-win64.exe .

When I run Juno again, I get the same error messages.

Hi, welcome Julia.
You don't need to install julia separately. Juno has one in it with all the required packages. Somehow, your installation of Juno is missing Requires package.
First, in Juno press Ctrl+Space, enter `Julia: open a new terminal repl` and click to what shows up to open julia in console mode.
Second, in julia repl, try `Pkg.update()` .
Third, when it finishes with success close everything and reopen Juno.
Fourth, if it still fails, then open up the julia repl again and do `Pkg.add("Requires")` .
Last, when it finishes,close everything and reopen Juno, see if it starts correctly.
If it still shows error please ask again.

Lutfullah,

The DOS command window created from the command  `Julia: open a new terminal repl` shows that the Julia version is 0.3.10, not the latest version 0.4.3

After issuing the Pkg.update() command I get the following error:

julia> Pkg.update()

INFO: Updating METADATA...

ERROR: chdir METADATA: no such file or directory (ENOENT)

 in cd at file.jl:11 (repeats 2 times)

Did you download from junolab.org? The latest verison(1.1.0) is at

https://junolab.s3.amazonaws.com/release/1.1.0/juno-windows-x64.zip

from julialang.org/downloads . It is bundled with all the required packages and julia 0.4.3 . Your downloaded Juno version seems old and it was not bundled with required packages for older versions. I suggest using new version if you do not need julia 0.3 .

If you willing you can also try Juno with Atom editor instead of Lightable derived one. New developmemt of Juno progresses around Atom editor. The link to the complete bundle is

https://github.com/JunoLab/atom/releases/download/0.3.0/JunoSetup.exe

from https://github.com/JunoLab/atom-julia-client/blob/master/README.md

Hi Lutfullah,

I was able to use Juno to open a DOS command window with a Julia command prompt.  However, after entering the Pkg.update() command I get the following error message.

INFO: Updating METADATA...

ERROR: chdir METADATA: no such file or directory (ENOENT)

 in cd at file.jl:11 (repeats 2 times)

Here is the contents of line 11 in the file C:\Juno\resources\app\julia\share\julia\base\file.jl

    uv_error("chdir $dir", ccall(:uv_chdir, Cint, (Ptr{Uint8},), dir))

Hi Mike,

You did not answer my question. Assuming julia version from Juno is 0.3 then you need required packages. For that, julia needs to set up a fresh package directory. Pkg.init() sets up this directory. After that, Pkg.add("Jewel") should install required packages. If julia version is 0.4 then Juno should already have required packages.
Best,
