# Installation

Instructions for installing Julia on macOS and Windows operating systems can be found [here](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/installation/).&#x20;

Package managers such as [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) (macOS and Linux) and [Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/) (Windows) can be used to facilitate installation.

For most users, it is recommended to download the current stable release from <https://julialang.org/downloads/>.&#x20;

Some developers might wish to use a different version, or to switch between versions. For this, the [Juliaup version manager](https://github.com/JuliaLang/juliaup) can be useful.

Julia is also available for use in Brown's [Computing Environments](https://docs.bcbi.brown.edu/codiac-for-health/ursa-ri/computing-environments):

* Oscar (for high-performance computing)
* Stronghold (for secure computing)
