xeus-cling is a Jupyter kernel for C++ based on the C++ interpreter cling and the native implementation of the Jupyter protocol xeus.

Installation

xeus-cling has been packaged for the conda package manager on the linux and OS X platforms. The build for the windows platform made available on our channel is merely experimental.

To ensure that the installation works, it is preferable to install xeus-cling in a fresh conda environment. It is also needed to use a miniconda installation because with the full anaconda you may have a conflict with the zeromq library which is already installed in the anaconda distribution.

The safest usage is to create an environment named cling with your miniconda installation

conda create -n cling
source activate cling

Then you can install in this environment xeus-cling and its dependencies

conda install xeus-cling notebook -c QuantStack -c conda-forge

Or you can install it directly from the sources, if all the dependencies are already installed.

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=your_conda_path -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=your_conda_path/lib
make && make install

xeus-cling requires its dependencies to be built with the same compiler and same C runtime as the one used to build cling.

The QuantStack channel provides a xeus, cling and their dependencies built with gcc-7 We highly recommend installing these dependencies from QuantStack in a clean conda installation or environment.
