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.
