 Alternatively, you can open the notebook in a notebook editor. For information about installing such an editor, you can go to either the [Jupyter installation page](https://jupyter.org/install) or the [Pluto installation page](https://plutojl.org/#lets-do-it). Note that in order to run the blocks in the notebook rather than just seeing them, you will need to [download and install Julia > 1.4.2](https://julialang.org/downloads/).
