Kernel immediately dies

smartdave opened this issue · 2 comments

I'm trying to get IJulia running on Windows 7 for 18.335, following the latest set of instructions. I'm able to get to the dashboard, but after roughly 5 seconds the kernel dies and cannot restart. I've un/re-installed several times, to no effect. The command line shows the following messages: "The system cannot find the path specified. "julia-readline.exe" is not recognized as...". Is this a known issue or something that I've messed up (reasonably high likelihood). Thanks!

See the "Important" note for "Running Julia" in the notes: on Windows, you need to run the ipython notebook --profile julia command when the command shell is in the Julia bin subdirectory.

(This is due to JuliaLang/julia#4331, which has been fixed, so the need to run in a specific directory should disappear from the next Windows binary to be uploaded.)

Ah yes, didn't scroll down quite that far, my apologies. Thanks again!
