Installation

Info

To install and mange your version of Julia we recommend the usage of Juliaup. Furthermore, we recommend the usage of VSCode and its Julialang extension to work interactively with the RSA package, while the IJulia package can be used to run Julia in Jupyter notebooks.

Get the Code

As our RSA package is not registered yet you have to download the source code and make it available by changing the LOAD_PATH variable later on. Clone the repository to get the code:

git clone https://github.com/Tonner-Zech-Group/RSA

Install Dependencies

Within a terminal, install all dependencies by switching in the RSA root folder (or use the full path in the following commands). Start the Julia commnad line (usually by typing julia) and activate the RSA environment and install all dependencies with the following commands:

using Pkg

Pkg.activate("/PATH/to/source/code/RSA")

Pkg.instantiate()

After the installation of all dependencies you can switch back to the default environment:

Pkg.activate()

Using the RSA package

You can use the RSA package in any of your scripts without activating the project (this would only be necessary if you want to contribute to the development of the package). Simply add the package directory to the LOAD_PATH:

push!(LOAD_PATH,"/PATH/to/source/code/RSA")
using RSA

To test whether the module was loaded you can use the following command in the Julia REPL:

?RSA
