The current master branch and gem version >= 0.2 are compatible with IPython3/Jupyter. If you require IPython2 support, please install an older gem version < 0.2 or use the branch ipython2
IRuby
This is a Ruby kernel for IPython/Jupyter and is part of SciRuby. You can try it at try.jupyter.org.
Quick start
At first install IPython/Jupyter. I recommend an installation using virtualenv.
apt-get install python3-dev virtualenv libzmq3-dev
virtualenv -p python3 venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install 'ipython[notebook]'
After that, install the Ruby gem.
gem install iruby
Now you can run iruby with:
iruby
iruby notebook
Take a look at the example notebook and the collection of notebooks which includes a Dockerfile to create a containerized installation of iruby and other scientific gems. You can find the prebuild image at dockerhub.
Required dependencies
- IPython/Jupyter >= 3.0.0
- libzmq >= 3.2
- Ruby >= 2.1.0
