Native R kernel for Jupyter

For detailed requirements and install instructions see irkernel.github.io

Requirements

• Jupyter.
• A current R installation.

Installation

We provide Windows and Mac OS X binary packages of all the needed packages:

install.packages(c('rzmq','repr','IRkernel','IRdisplay'),
                 repos = c('http://irkernel.github.io/', getOption('repos')))
IRkernel::installspec()

Running the notebook

If you have Jupyter installed, you can create a notebook using IRkernel from the dropdown menu.

You can also start other interfaces with an R kernel:

# “ir” is the kernel name installed by the above 'IRkernel::installspec()'
jupyter qtconsole --kernel=ir
jupyter console --kernel=ir
