Installation Setup

Install Julia from the official website

Use Julia’s package manager (Pkg) to install packages like QuantLib.jl, FinancialToolbox.jl, or MarketData.jl

Ensure dependencies (e.g., DataFrames, Distributions, StatsBase) are installed

Optionally install Python or R interfaces for interoperability

Verify installation with example scripts or REPL commands

Environment Setup

Install Julia language

Install desired finance packages using Pkg

Install dependencies (DataFrames, Distributions, Plots)

Optional: configure Python/R integration

Verify setup with example scripts or notebooks

Config Files

Project.toml and Manifest.toml - package management

*.jl - source code scripts

CSV/JSON data input files

Optional logging or config files for simulations

Jupyter notebooks for interactive analysis

Cli Commands

julia - start REPL

using Pkg; Pkg.add("PackageName") - install packages

include("script.jl") - run Julia script

Pkg.test("PackageName") - run package tests

jupyter notebook - run notebooks with Julia kernel

Internationalization

Supports multiple currencies and date conventions

Handles regional holidays and calendars

Flexible number formatting and units

Compatible with international finance standards

Multi-language documentation may be community-provided

Accessibility

Open-source MIT/BSD licenses

Cross-platform: Linux, Windows, macOS

Accessible via Julia REPL, Jupyter, or VS Code

Community tutorials and forums available

Interoperable with Python and R

Ui Styling

Mostly headless CLI and notebook-based workflows

Use Plots.jl or StatsPlots.jl for charts

Document scripts for readability

Organize modules and functions clearly

Provide visual summaries of simulations

State Management

Objects maintain parameters, market data, and instrument state

Simulations store results and random seeds

Global evaluation dates and calendars managed consistently

Portfolio state tracked with arrays or DataFrames

Reusable term structures and cached computations

Data Management

Market data inputs (rates, volatilities, historical prices)

Instrument parameters and attributes

Simulation outputs for pricing and risk

Portfolio allocations and optimization results
