GitHub is a service that provides internet hosting for software development and version control using Git. We use GitHub to host all the materials and final projects in this course. Therefore, every student needs to create a GitHub account to be able to finish the course. It can be done in a few steps on the official <a href="https://github.com/">GitHub page</a>.</p></div></div><h3 id="Visual-Studio-Code"><a class="docs-heading-anchor" href="#Visual-Studio-Code">Visual Studio Code</a><a id="Visual-Studio-Code-1"></a><a class="docs-heading-anchor-permalink" href="#Visual-Studio-Code" title="Permalink"></a></h3><p>It is possible to write Julia codes in any text editor, and run them directly from the terminal. However, it is usually better to use an IDE that provides additional features such as syntax highlighting, or code suggestions. We recommend using <a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/">Visual Studio Code</a>, a free source-code editor made by Microsoft. It supports many programming languages (Julia, Python, LaTex, ...) via extensions. The editor is available at the official <a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/download">download page</a>. Download the proper installer, run it and follow the instructions.</p><p>To use the VS Code as an IDE for Julia, we have to install the <a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=julialang.language-julia">Julia extension</a>. It can be done directly from the VS Code. Open the <code>Extension MarketPlace</code> by pressing the button in the <code>Activity bar</code> (the left bar). Type <code>julia</code> in the search bar and select the Julia extension. Then press the <code>Install</code> button to install the extension.
