The Python fork of [JILL](https://github.com/abelsiqueira/jill) - Julia Installer 4 Linux (and MacOS) - Light

## Features

* download *latest* Julia release from *nearest* mirror server. Check [sources](jill/config/sources.json) for the list of all registered mirrors.
* install julia for Linux and MacOS (including nightly build: `latest`)
* easily set up a new release mirror 🚧

## Installation

`pip install jill --user -U`

Note that `Python >= 3.6` is required.

## Basic usage examples

* download:
    - latest stable release for current system: `jill download`
    - latest `1.y` version: `jill download 1`
    - latest `1.3.z` version: `jill download 1.3`
    - from specific upstream: `jill download --upstream Official`
    - specific release version: `jill download --version 1.3.0`
    - specific system: `jill download --sys freebsd`
    - specific architecture: `jill download --arch i686`
    - download Julia to specific dir: `jill download --outdir another/dir`
* install Julia for current system:
    - system-wide: `sudo jill install` (make symlink in `/usr/bin`)
    - only for current user: `jill install` (make symlink in `~/.local/bin`)
    - don't need interactive promopt: `jill install --confirm`
* check if there're new Julia versions:
    - `jill update`
    - add `--update` flag to `download` or `install` commands
* find out all registered upstreams: `jill upstream`
* check the not-so-elaborative documentation: `jill [COMMAND] -h` (e.g., `jill download -h`)

## Mirror

`jill mirror [outdir]`:

1. checks if there're new julia releases
2. downloads all releases Julia releases into `outdir` (default `./julia_pkg`)
3. (Optional): with flag `--period PERIOD`, it will repeat step 1 and 2 every `PERIOD` seconds

You can create a `mirror.json` in current folder to override the default mirror
behaviors. The [mirror configuration example](mirror.example.json) shows the default
values for all possible configurable items.

## Register new mirror

If it's an public mirror and you want to share it worldwide. You can add an entry to the
[public registry](jill/config/sources.json), make a PR, then I will tag a new release for that.

If it's an internal mirror and you don't plan to make it public, you can create a config
file at `~/.config/jill/sources.json` locally. The contents will be appended to
the public registry and overwrite already existing items if there are.

In the registry config file, a new mirror is a dictionary in the `upstream` field:

* `name`: a distinguishable mirror name
* `urls`: URL template to retrive Julia release
* `latest_urls`: URL template to retrive the nightly build of Julia release

## Placeholders

Placeholders are used to register new mirrors. For example, the stable release url of
the "Official" release server owned by [JuliaComputing](https://juliacomputing.com) is
`"https://julialang2.s3.amazonaws.com/bin/$sys/$arch/$minor_version/$filename"`

There're several predefined placeholders for various systems and architectures:

* `system`: `windows`, `macos`, `linux`, `freebsd`
* `sys`: `winnt`, `mac`, `linux`, `freebsd`
* `os`: `win`, `mac`, `linux`, `freebsd`
* `architecture`: `x86_64`, `i686`, `ARMv7`, `ARMv8`
* `arch`: `x86`, `x64`, `armv7l`, `aarch64`
* `osarch`: `win32`, `win64`, `mac64`, `linux-armv7l`, `linux-aarch64`
* `osbit`: `win32`, `win64`, `linux32`, `linux64`, `linuxaarch64`
* `bit`: `32`, `64`
* `extension`: `exe`, `tar.gz`, `dmg` (no leading `.`)

There're also placeholders for versions:

* `patch_version`: `1.2.3`, `latest`
* `minor_version`: `1.2`, `latest`
* `major_version`: `1`
* `version`: `v1.2.3-pre`, `latest`
* `vpatch_version`: `v1.2.3`, `latest`
* `vminor_version`: `v1.2`, `latest`
* `vmajor_version`: `v1`, `latest`

To keep consistent names with official releases, you can use predefined name placeholders:

* stable release `filename`: `julia-$patch_version-$osarch.$extension`
* nightly release `latest_filename`: `"julia-latest-$osbit.$extension"`
