-### Install Julia
-
-Some ESMValTool diagnostics are written in the Julia programming language.
-If you want a full installation of ESMValTool including Julia diagnostics, you need
-to make sure Julia is installed before installing ESMValTool.
-
-In this tutorial, we will not use Julia, but for reference, we have listed the steps
-to install Julia below.
-Complete instructions for installing Julia can be found on the [Julia
-installation page](https://julialang.org/downloads/platform/#linux_and_freebsd).
-
-> ## Julia installation instructions
->
-> First, open a bash terminal and activate the newly created `esmvaltool` environment.
->
-> ```bash
-> conda activate esmvaltool
-> ```
->
-> Next, to install Julia via `mamba`, you can use the following command:
->
-> ```bash
-> mamba install julia
-> ```
-> 
-> To check that the Julia executable can be found, run
->
-> ```bash
-> which julia
-> ```
->
-> to display the path to the Julia executable, it should be
->
-> ```
-> ~/mambaforge/envs/esmvaltool/bin/julia
-> ```
-> {: .output}
->
-> To test that Julia is installed correctly, run
->
-> ```bash
-> julia
