How to run

1. If not already done, install Julia ()
2. Download the repository, either with git or as a .zip
3. The first time you run the code, you will need to initialize the environment. You can read how packages and environments work in Julia and . Here are some quick instructions:
   • Start Julia from inside the folder where the code was installed
   • Move into package mode by pressing ] on your keyboard
   • Activate the local environment with the command activate .

   julia> # here press `]` to enter package mode
   (@v1.11) pkg> activate .
     Activating project at `~/Documents/Julia/EISCAT_radar_school`
   (EISCAT_radar_school) pkg> 

   • Now instantiate the environment with the command instantiate. This will download and install the packages that are required for the script to work.

   (EISCAT_radar_school) pkg> instantiate

4. There are different ways to run code in Julia. One of them is to launch the script with this command

   julia> include("load_and_plot.jl")
