SUMMARY As stated in (https://userbase.kde.org/LabPlot/ComputationalNotebooks), one can use Julia for generating plots via computational notebooks within LabPlot. But despite having first installed the latest release of Julia on my system and then installing LabPlot via various sources (distro's package manager (tried using apt and zypper), flatpak or the appimage from KDE website) one-by-one (to compare them), either the option to configure CAS wasn't present in the settings menu or when it was available, within CAS preferences window, there was no tab/option to configure the executable and plotting options for Julia, like there is for Python. Please see attached screenshot of the CAS preferences window. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install Julia as per the instructions at https://julialang.org/download/ 2. Install LabPlot (for example via Flatpak) 3. Click on Settings menu in the titlebar, select Configure CAS option from the drop-down menu OBSERVED RESULT No option to configure CAS for Julia EXPECTED RESULT Separate Tab to configure CAS for Julia and ability to add Julia-based computational notebooks to the project SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS [using latest Flatpak on Linux Mint 22.1] ------------------------------------------------------------ Output of "flatpak info org.kde.Platform" ------------------------------------------------------------- KDE Application Platform - Shared libraries used by KDE applications ID: org.kde.Platform Ref: runtime/org.kde.Platform/x86_64/5.15-23.08 Arch: x86_64 Branch: 5.15-23.08 License: GPL-2.0+ Origin: flathub Collection: org.flathub.Stable Installation: system Installed: 918.6 MB Commit: e8ad045230bad525ddc832a76a35673df1849822d1bbba13f4b914f3df9ddf70 Parent: a3ee8f2346ac4df90f97b8728f7d60b19c2a692d7c32664ca598906de6e0d54e Subject: build of org.kde.Sdk, Mon Apr 14 20:28:23 UTC 2025 (8f135c84e8a8c269e15d8d5c6737ae1e8b3048c7) Date: 2025-04-15 02:57:58 +0000 ---------------------------------------------------------- Output of "flatpak info org.kde.labplot2" ----------------------------------------------------------- LabPlot - Interactive Data Visualization and Analysis ID: org.kde.labplot2 Ref: app/org.kde.labplot2/x86_64/stable Arch: x86_64 Branch: stable Version: 2.11.1 License: GPL-2.0+ Origin: flathub Collection: org.flathub.Stable Installation: system Installed: 273.2 MB Runtime: org.kde.Platform/x86_64/5.15-23.08 Sdk: org.kde.Sdk/x86_64/5.15-23.08 Commit: 371918a9b44df1ba2ede95c9436587dac7b403530a4c7543832be47d878ad240 Parent: 9040417f96502d051bb19b590ae78216c866d53cac10d76de4fb9ac6f904ae7c Subject: poppler: Update poppler-25.03.0.tar.xz to 25.04.0 (56aa0c85) Date: 2025-04-02 11:47:08 +0000 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

It's on our roadmap to also support Julia for this packages. For now, you need to use the package for LabPlot with the support for Julia produced by your distribution or compile LabPlot and Cantor from sources with the support for Julia, which is clearly more work unfortunately.
