Jupyter kernels

Kernel Zero is IPython, which you can get through ipykernel, and is still a dependency of jupyter. The IPython kernel can be thought of as a reference implementation, as CPython is for Python.

Here is a list of available kernels. If you are writing your own kernel, feel free to add it to the table!

Many kernels are available for installation on PyPI.

Repository

Several of these kernels are available in a PPA for Ubuntu 15.10 (wily)/16.04 (xenial). Add it with:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chronitis/jupyter
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install <kernelname>

The following kernel packages are available (along with their dependencies):

  • ihaskell
  • ijulia
  • ijavascript
  • irkernel
  • iruby
  • gophernotes (xenial only)

(The repository doesn't contain ipython/jupyter - you'll still need to install it with pip)
