Installation

1. Install Julia

Newtrinos.jl is written in the Julia programming language. Download and install it from the official downloads page.

2. Install Newtrinos.jl

Newtrinos.jl is registered in the Julia General registry, so it is accessible via Pkg.add. For this open a Julia session by running julia in your terminal (or launching the Julia application), then run:

using Pkg 
Pkg.add("Newtrinos")

It could also be installed directly from GitHub via the Repository-URL:

using Pkg
Pkg.add(url="https://github.com/Newtrinos-org/Newtrinos.jl.git")

Julia will download the package and all its dependencies automatically. This may take a few minutes the first time.

Some key dependencies are:

  • BAT.jl for Bayesian inference,
  • ForwardDiff.jl for automatic differentiation,
  • DensityInterface.jl for the likelihood interface, and
  • CairoMakie.jl for visualization.
Note

You only need to do this once. After installation the package is available in any Julia session on your machine.

3. Load the Package

After installation, load Newtrinos.jl at the start of any Julia session:

using Newtrinos
