The contrib/ directory has support files for using Julia with various third-party software.
Currently, there is support for the Emacs, Vim, and TextMate editors, which can be setup by following the instructions in the following sections.
Add the following line to ~/.emacs
(require 'julia-mode "JULIA_PATH/contrib/julia-mode.el")
where JULIA_PATH is the location of the top-level julia directory.
Instructions for installing Vim support for Julia can be found in the julia-vim repo, which provides pathogen, vbundle, and manual installation options.
### TextMateCopy (or symlink) the TextMate Julia bundle into the TextMate application support directory:
cp -r JULIA_PATH/contrib/Julia.tmbundle ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles/
where JULIA_PATH is the location of the top-level julia directory.
Now select from the menu in TextMate Bundles > Bundle Editor > Reload Bundles.
Julia should appear as a file type and be automatically detected for files with the .j extension.
