Pumas

Install Pumas Windows binary

1. Click here to download the Pumas Installer binary and save the binary file to a location on your local machine. This file replaces the previous one.
2. Start the Pumas binary as admin and install Pumas in admin mode, make sure you don’t disable Desktop and Start Menu Icon creation during installation.

Post installation steps

1. Launch Pumas using the Desktop Icon.
2. Choose enter license key and enter your license key. (Note: If you are upgrading your Pumas version, the license should already be registered and you don’t need to perform this step again)
3. Wait until the license information is printed and subsequently the REPL starts.
4. Ensure that the license information is printed with the correct term of your license validity, once the verification is done, you can close the REPL window.
5. Launch VSCode and install “Julia for VSCode” extension from VSCode marketplace. Instruction details can be found here
6. Open VSCode and Start the Command Palette by using either of these methods
   • Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + Shift + P
   • Select the gear icon on the bottom left panel of VSCode and select Command Palette
7. In the Command Palette, type Julia: Start REPL and hit Enter when the selection is highlighted.
8. A julia REPL (console) will open up in the bottom pane where the license information should be printed first along with the Pumas startup message.
9. Type using Pumas beside the julia> prompt and hit the return key. If no errors show up, installation is successful, and you are ready to use Pumas!

If IT does a system-wide installation, first-time usage by a non-admin user will need to execute the post installation steps.

Updating an active license

If you have received a new license key and would like to use that instead of an existing license key then call run the following command from the julia prompt

julia> PumasLicenseManager.activateLicenseFromTerminal()

You will then be asked to enter your new license key (including - symbol). After hitting enter, you should receive confirmation that the new license has been activated.
