For brand new would-be julia users who want to get started with Julia, I would love to send them to this github repo to get started, but there's no information on this page explaining what to do once you're here!

I know that these tutorials were originally written with JuliaBox in mind, so i've tried to maintain that spirit in these instructions. But hopefully we can also include instructions here about how to get started with julia in any capacity, because JuliaBox may not be the preferred option for everyone, and these are great tutorials that it would be a shame to not share! :)

README.md Outdated
1. Download julia from https://julialang.org/downloads/ (download the latest "stable" version).
- Follow the instructions to install it on your computer.
2. Install julia's Jupyter Notebooks integration: IJulia.jl
- Open julia, and you are presented with a "REPL" prompt. This is the main Julia interface. There, type this closing bracket

How do I open julia? Are we okay punting on this point?

Mmm good point.
Do you think the changes in d376d0e make this any clearer?

Make it clearer that you can just open the installed Julia application (ie double-click it) in the instructions
