Initial Setup

1. Install Julia Lang.
2. Install Visual Studio Code.
3. Install 'Julia' extension for Visual Studio Code.
4. (For new package) Run Julia Lang application and then enter ] generate <pkg name> to generate a new project folder with julia environment.

Running Project

1. Open project folder in VS Code.
2. Start Julia REPL using Julia: Start REPL in VS Code command pallete.
3. Set the Julia enviroment to project name in VS Code using Julia: Activate This Environment in VS Code command pallete.
4. (First time) For a newly downloaded package, run using Package; Pkg.instantiate() in Julia REPL to install the packages needed for this project.
5. Can use VS Code command pallete to run selected code via Julia: Execute Code in REPL or entire .jl file via Julia: Execute Active File in REPL.
