Stepfan, I highly recommend you to use the Anaconda Python Distribution, if
you are using Windows! Then you would also need pandoc, MiKTeX and some
LaTeX editor to output the PDF. But you are right, Julia's package system
is so much better! Genius.
The only thing I don't get is how to install several packages at once, I
wrote a function
julia> function Pkg.add(pkgs::Array{String, 1})
Pkg.update()
for pkg in pkgs
Pkg.add(pkg)
end
end
add (generic function with 2 methods)
julia> Pkg.add(["Arduino", "SymPy"])
ERROR: no method add(Array{ASCIIString, 1})
julia> ASCIIString <: String
true
julia> function Pkg.add(pkgs::Array{ASCIIString, 1})
Pkg.update()
for pkg in pkgs
Pkg.add(pkg)
end
end
add (generic function with 3 methods)
julia> Pkg.add(["Arduino", "SymPy"])
INFO: Updating METADATA...
to do that, but it fails if the METADATA is updated in the progress. And
it's kinda weird, because I saw an example on that in a video from you guys.
(Why does using Array{String, 1} doesnt work?)
