Can you please provide the entire contents of that terminal panel output, it’s cut off and there’s likely useful details in there that will help with diagnosis of the problem.

The issue I see here is that Pumas 2.7.0 requires using Julia 1.11.5, but the version of Julia being run in that REPL is 1.11.6.

Had you configured 2.7.0 as the default? During initial installation this should have been presented as an option, perhaps it was skipped. To do this after installation click on the “List Versions” button on the Getting Started page, then click on “Pumas 2.7.0” (it should say it’s already installed), then click “Configure VS Code”, then click “Set Globally” in the dialog that shows up in the bottom right side of the window. See below for the expected menu items you should see on each of those steps.

After doing this close and reopen VS Code just to make sure the changes have take effect.

If 1.11.6 is still what gets shown in the REPL when launching after the above is tried then please check whether the VS Code settings page contains the right settings. Use Ctrl+Shift+P to open the command pallet, then type “user settings json” and click the first option in the list. This will open the VS Code configuration file. Find the line that contains "julia.executablePath": and then let me know what the entire line contains. Ideally it should be "julia.executablePath": "julia +Pumas@2.7.0",. If not then please let me know and we can get on a debugging call to work out the specifics.

i followed the steps
it is showing “julia.executablePath”: “julia +Pumas@2.7.0”
still im getting julia 1.11.6

vijay · February 2, 2026, 4:28pm

Please make sure your old installation of Pumas 2.6.1 is removed from Add/Remove programs
open a new terminal (command prompt).
type juliaup status
check if the * is set next to julia 1.11.7 or 1.11.6 or something else? It has to be set to Pumas@2.7.1 or Pumas@2.7.0 , whichever one you installed.
to do this, you need to do juliaup default Pumas@2.7.1
check juliaup status again and now the `*` should be beside Pumas..
restart vscode
Now start julia REPL and let us know what comes up

can you open a powershell that is not in VSCode, so go to the windows menu and open powershell. Could you please type julia there and that should start 1.11.7. If that is the version that loads, then you can try using Pumas in the > julia prompt there. When the prompt to enter the license comes in there, try entering the license. The crash associated with julia when you are tyring to use VSCode is probably only in that environment. If you are able to successfully include a license in the powershell, then you can start using Pumas in VSCode. If this does not work, then we can get on a short call to troubleshoot

Abhiram · February 3, 2026, 5:11am

I tried using powershell it is showing 1.11.5
I even downloaded the julia 1.11.7 from julia website

vijay · February 3, 2026, 5:25am

can you show me your juliaup status result here pleas

Abhiram · February 3, 2026, 5:28am

vijay · February 3, 2026, 5:48am

ok. So you have Pumas 2.7.0. In the powershell, now if you run

julia
once julia starts, using Pumas - what do you get? Is it asking to install license? If so, paste in your license key there.
If the license is already there and the information is printed you should be good to go

Abhiram · February 3, 2026, 6:04am

julia version 1.11.5 is still there
how do i get julia 1.11.7

vijay · February 3, 2026, 6:10am

Follow the instructions here Pumas Installation Error through VS Code - #6 by vijay

Once you enter the license key, then you at least have Pumas activated. Then you can update 2.7.1 by following the documentation

Abhiram · February 3, 2026, 6:37am

How do I update julia from 1.11.5 to 1.11.7?

vijay · February 3, 2026, 6:53am

you are not updating julia, you need to update Pumas to get the latest julia version
