I installed Pumas (with Julia) and I was able to previously run the test model successfully. With our upcoming workshop, we were instructed to install Quarto and render another test document(install\_check\_test.qmd), but I received the above error message during the rendering process. Please assist

Hi Michael! Based on your screenshot, it seems that Quarto failed to start the Julia process that is used for executing the Julia code in the notebook. Can you check which version of Quarto you are running by posting the output of `quarto --version`?

This problem reminds me of a Quarto bug (["Start-Process" fails on Windows with julia engine · Issue #10111 · quarto-dev/quarto-cli · GitHub](https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/issues/10111)) that was fixed in Quarto 1.7.8 (the fix was also backported to Quarto 1.6.43). Can you install Quarto 1.7.32 ([Get Started – Quarto](https://quarto.org/docs/get-started/)) and retry?
