"Julia program to a standalone executable"

[dmm]

Last spring I could not figure out how to make a standalone executable in Julia. Which was not good (this prevented me from submitting an entry to a demo party).

Finally, someone has posted detailed instructions for Windows (likely to work on other platforms, but not tested), and they contain steps that I had no idea about:

-q, --quiet	Quiet startup: no banner, suppress REPL warnings

So it's enough to just

julia --project makeHelloWorld.jl

The

-q

just prevents you from seeing complaints.

--project[={|@.}]	Set  as the home project/environment. The default @. option will search through parent directories until a Project.toml or JuliaProject.toml file is found.
