1 installing 0.5
see http://julialang.org/downloads/platform.html
I did, on Linux mint, per above:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:staticfloat/julianightlies
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:staticfloat/julia-deps
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install julia
and now

5 How to show plot using Julia studio?
Need to use display, like this
using Winstonx=-2pi:0.1:2pidisplay(plot(x,sin(x.^2)./x))
On Linux, from terminal, there is not need to use display, but on windows I found that it is
needed, else the plot do not show up.
6 How to find the version number of Julia?

7 How to upgrade Julia?
First time you install Julia:
cd .... to where you want Julia folder to begit clone git://github.com/JuliaLang/julia.git
cd julia
make
.... go take a long nap....
Now, to upgrade Julia anytime after the above, do
