Note
This documentation is for a development version of IPython. There may be significant differences from the latest stable release.
Kernel InstallationΒΆ
IPython can be installed (different python versions, virtualenv or conda environments) as a kernel by following these steps:
- make sure that the desired python installation is active (e.g. activate the environment) and ipython is installed
- run once
ipython kernelspec install-self --user
(oripython2 ...
oripython3 ...
if you want to install specific python versions)
The last command installs a kernel spec file for the current python installation. Kernel spec files are JSON files, which can be viewed and changed with a normal text editor.
