Move the folder to where Julia is to be stored. This can be any location of your preference, but this post has moved it to /home/[username]/julia-1.3.1.

Use the following command to create a symbolic link.

sudo ln -s /home/[유저이름]/julia-1.3.1/bin/julia /usr/bin/julia

By running Julia through the command, you can confirm that version 1.3.1 is installed properly.

If You Don’t Need the Latest Version

sudo apt-get install julia

Using the above command, you can quickly install without setting up a symbolic link. However, this method does not install the latest stable version.
