Julia on Mac is an app.

On terminal when I type `$julia` it is not a valid command. 

How do I get to autocomplete julia as a legit command?

Answer: 
Link the julia exectable into one of the directoties in your PATH. For example:

```
ln -s /Applications/Julia-0.3.6.app/Contents/Resources/julia/bin/julia /usr/bin

```

You could also use homebrew to install julia <http://brew.sh>, since the julia hb julia formula appears to do that automatically.
I use [Julia](http://julialang.org/downloads/) on Mac OSX, 

I suggest to compile Julia from source and make install.
