When installing IJulia we encountered two problems. Firstly at our work laptops the installation directory for Julia defaults to the G:\ drive. This is because when we log in through the TUe logon server, Windows sets its HOMEDRIVE variable to G:. For Julia we can override this setting by adding the line set JULIA_PKGDIR=C:\Users\[your_name]\.julia
to the prepare-julia-env.bat
file, just below the other set statements. After adding this line run the bat file. (More info: here and here).
The second problem is that LibCURL and Nettle would not build when calling Pkg.add("IJulia")
in the Julia console. This is because these packages depend on dll files that need to be downloaded from an external source. However, the university firewall does not allow this. We need to manually download these dependencies. The files for LibCURL can be found [here](http://curl.haxx.se/download.h
