Setting Up Jupyterlab With Ruby Kernel (MacOS)

Guide to setting up JupyterLab with a Ruby kernel on macOS.

Many are the reasons I choose to setup JupyterLabs with a Ruby Kernel, I will however not disclose those reasons :)

  • Setup python, pip, jupyter / jupyterlabs , ruby (soo many tutorials out there)
  • Setup the ruby kernel, especially on MacOS, not that many.

gem install cztop ffi-_rzmq iruby - Consider installing the optional dependencies to get additional functionality (gem install): * pry * pry-doc * awesome_print * gnuplot * rubyvis * nyaplot * cztop * rbczmq***

  • ‘rbczmq’ might fail if your build tools are not setup. To do that, run: brew insall libtool autoconf automake and rerun gem install rbczmq
  • Run iruby register --force
  • Restart your jupyterlab notebook to find your ruby kernel included.
