Description Harris Landgarten 2017-01-26 23:21:47 UTC

Jupyter in gentoo is python only. We should add julia kernel.

Comment 1 Marius Brehler 2017-03-03 19:07:58 UTC

Actually julia support in jupyter is provided by IJulia. This can be installed with julias own package management system, see https://github.com/JuliaLang/IJulia.jl/blob/master/README.md#installation. I don't think there is a clean way to get this into an ebuild.

Btw, it is not python only, e.g. in the science overlay we provide a metakernel modules for bash ;)

Yes - getting julia support in jupyter is a simple matter of installing the corresponding IJulia package:

- setting JUPYTER environment variable
julia> Pkg.add("IJulia")

and possibly registering the jupyter kernel.
