Template for startup.jl

Create your own startup file

1. Copy the template below
   • Whenever Julia is started, this startup.jl file is executed.
   • Store the template file under <path-to-julia-home>\.julia\config\startup.jl
2. Create your folder, where you'd like to work.
   • Adapt the juliaWorkingDir variable to your needs (line 5) and save it, (be aware of using /)
3. Do you want to use Modia3D for 3D simulations and also visualize your results? Skip this point if you're doing the lightweight installation guide!
   • Download and install the free DLR SimVis Community Edition, e.g. with https://visualization.ltx.de/
   • Set an environment variable or add it to the startup.jl file (remove # in last line of template)
     • ENV["DLR_VISUALIZATION"] = "<path-to-library>/Visualization/Extras/SimVis"
     • remove # in last line of template, and adapt <path-to-library>

# Julia startup file
# This file should contain site-specific commands to be executed on Julia startup;
# Users may store their own personal commands in `~/.julia/config/startup.jl`.

# set variable: juliaWorkingDir, be aware of using /
juliaWorkingDir = "D:/work/julia"

println("... executing startup file ", @__FILE__)
println("... Julia package directories: ", DEPOT_PATH)

# Change Directory of Julia package directory (default: in %USERPROFILE%\.julia)
cd(juliaWorkingDir)
println("... Starting Julia in " * pwd())
