Instructions and gotchas
- This binary is not currently "signed", so if your antivirus or windows smartscreen gives some warning, please ignore it for now.
- Install using the attached setup.
- The installer would not automatically run the app, it is needed to be run after the installation separately with admin privileges or else it would give an error and ask you to rerun with admin privileges.
- Internet connection is required on the first run to install Pluto.
- First run might take about 2-3 minutes depending on your machine (Julia extraction, running Julia and then Pluto) and internet connection (downloading / updating Pluto). There would be a loading screen to keep you updated.
- Currently fonsp/Pluto.jl#2177 is being used, so you might find some minor differences from the main branch.
- The bundled Julia binary is v1.7.3 Windows 64 bit, so this software also supports Windows 64-bit only
Note
If the application has installed / extracted Julia and for some reason it is corrupted, incomplete or anything related, follow the following steps:
- Close all running instances of this software.
- Download the Julia v1.7.3 Windows 64-bit portable from here.
- Place this zip in
C:\Program Files\Pluto\resources\assets
, DO NOT RENAME IT. - Delete the existing julia folder, i.e.
C:\Program Files\Pluto\resources\assets\julia-1.7.3
. - Rerun the software with admin privileges.
It should be fixed, else please file an issue.
Known bugs
- Asks for admin privileges if user tries to run a pluto notebook directly from explorer, would be fixed soon.
- This button, it works perfectly fine, but needs some correct styling.
This is being actively worked on, would be fixed soon, keep an eye on fonsp/Pluto.jl#2177.
