plugin for Julia support, see <a href="https://www.julia-vscode.org/">https://www.julia-vscode.org</a>. Installation instructions: <a href="https://ufechner7.github.io/2024/08/09/installing-julia-with-juliaup.html">Julia and VSCode</a> .</p><p>Whe using vscode, I do NOT use the Julia terminal provided by vscode, but the normal bash terminal which is also available in vscode by selecting <strong>Terminal->New Terminal</strong> From this terminal I start Julia with <code>julia --project</code> or a different command as explained below. This makes it easier to understand what happens and is also faster when you need to restart.</p><h2 id="Forking-the-repository-and-creating-a-custom-system-image"><a class="docs-heading-anchor" href="#Forking-the-repository-and-creating-a-custom-system-image">Forking the repository and creating a custom system image</a><a id="Forking-the-repository-and-creating-a-custom-system-image-1"></a><a class="docs-heading-anchor-permalink" href="#Forking-the-repository-and-creating-a-custom-system-image" title="Permalink"></a></h2><p>To reduce the startup time it is suggested to use a custom system image that contains all the packages you use on a daily base in compiled form.</p><ol><li>Go to the website https://github.com/ufechner7/KiteModels.jl and click on the <strong>Fork</strong> button at the top right.</li><li>clone the new repository which is owned by you with a command similar to this one: <code>git clone https://github.com/ufechner7/KiteModels.jl</code> Your own git user name must appear in the URL, otherwise you will not be able to push your changes.</li></ol><p>After cloning the repo you can create a new system image:</p><pre><code class="language-bash hljs">cd KiteModels.jl
