[Julia](https://julialang.org) light installer for Linux.

---

On Linux, the best way to install Julia is to use the Generic Linux
Binaries. And while **all Linux users** love manually downloading,
unpacking, and linking their software, this script does it for you.

## Quick version - Install latest stable linux

Simply run

```bash
sudo bash -ci "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abelsiqueira/jill/main/jill.sh)"
```

Sudo is optional. If you prefer to not use it, make sure to add `$HOME/.local/bin` to your `PATH`.

## More options - Download jill.sh

Either download the jill.sh script, e.g.

```bash
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abelsiqueira/jill/main/jill.sh
```

```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abelsiqueira/jill/main/jill.sh > jill.sh
```

or clone the full repo (for instance, if you had SSL issues as in #32):

```bash
git clone https://github.com/abelsiqueira/jill
```

You can use the script via `bash jill.sh` or make it executable using `chmod a+x jill.sh`. We'll use the former version here.

**Usage**:

```bash
bash jill.sh [options]
```

If no options are given, this will install the latest stable Julia.
The .tar.gz and unpacked folder will be kept on the environment variable `JULIA_DOWNLOAD`, and the `julia` executable will be linked in `JULIA_INSTALL`.

By default, we use

- `JULIA_DOWNLOAD=/opt/julias` and `JULIA_INSTALL=/usr/local/bin` if you have root permission (e.g. called with `sudo`).
- `JULIA_DOWNLOAD=$HOME/packages/julias` and `JULIA_INSTALL=$HOME/.local/bin` otherwise.

The following options are avaiable:

- `-h, --help`: Show a help.
- `--lts`: Install the Long Term Support version (Currently 1.6.7).
- `--rc`: Install the latest release candidate (uses `jq` to query the versions from julialang.org).
- `-u M.m, --upgrade M.m`: Copy environment from M.m version (e.g. -u 1.6)
- `-v VER, --version VER`: Install julia version VER. Valid examples: 1.5.4, 1.5-latest, 1.5.0-rc1.
- `-y, --yes, --no-confirm`: Skip confirmation.
