Install Pluto on your own computer
Go to plutojl.org/#install for instructions!
System requirements
Pluto works on Windows, Linux, MacOS, ChromeOS and Android. You need a computer with at least 4GB RAM, but 8GB is recommended for running multiple notebooks in parallel, or for using large packages.
Pluto needs Julia to be installed, we recommend the latest version. Unreleased (alpha/beta preview) versions of Julia do not work well with Pluto.
Pluto also needs a web browser to work. Make sure that your web browser is up-to-date, as Pluto uses many modern web technologies to work. Some browser extensions can break Pluto, such as Privacy Badger. You can disable these extensions for the Pluto domain (usually http://localhost:1234/
).
You do not need to be a system administrator to install Julia and Pluto.
ChromeOS
Pluto works on a chromebook! You need to set up the Linux development environment, and then follow the Linux installation instructions as usual!
iPad and iOS
It is not possible to run Julia on iPad or iOS (we think)… But you could run Pluto on another computer or a web server, and access Pluto remotely on your iPad or iOS phone.
Try Pluto without installation
You can try Pluto in your browser without installation before installing! Go to plutojl.org/#try to learn more. Note that your files will not be stored in the cloud!
Use Pluto in the cloud
If you want to use Pluto without installation for more serious projects, there are a couple of options:
- Jolin Cloud – jolin.io offers a cloud service for Pluto notebooks, with additional real-time data features
- JuliaHub – see the documentation
- CoCalc – see the documentation
With these three options you can store notebooks in the cloud, and you can also try bigger computers and GPUs. Jolin and JuliaHub also let you publish notebooks as public/private websites.
