-Julia - REQUIRE
----------------
-
-To specify dependencies in Julia, include a REQUIRE file that lists the names
-of packages you'd like to be installed. For example:
-
-```
-PyPlot
-IJulia
-DataFrames
-```
-
-Each one will be installed but **not** pre-compiled. If you'd like to
-pre-compile your Julia packages, consider using a ``postBuild`` file.
-
-Note that this example also specifies Python dependencies with an
-``environment.yml`` file.
