Julia runs on Windows XP SP2 or later (including Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8). Both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions are supported. The 32-bit i686 binary will run on either 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. The 64-bit x86_64 binary will only run on 64-bit Windows.

Downloading additional libraries (Tk, Cairo, etc) is not necessary. Julia's package manager will acquire them as needed.
Downloading additional libraries (Tk, Cairo, etc) is not necessary. Julia's package manager will acquire them as needed. For this to work, you must have the `7z` command-line tool installed (see below), and it must be on your path.

Julia requires that the lib and lib/julia directories be part of your `%PATH%` variable to startup. The `julia.bat` script will attempt to do this for you and is the recommended way of running julia on your system. The julia.bat file can be given arguments (e.g. `julia.bat -p 2 script.jl` for running script.jl on two processors) which will be passed directly to julia.exe.
