$ mkvirtualenv jupyter-env
$ workon jupyter-env
(jupyter-env) $ pip install --pre -e .

Create and edit kernel.json file

$ mkdir ~/.ipython/kernels/ielixir
$ vim ~/.ipython/kernels/ielixir/kernel.json

{
  "argv": ["{PATH_TO_YOUR_IELIXIR_PROJECT}/start_script.sh", "{connection_file}"],
  "display_name": "ielixir",
  "language": "Elixir"
}

or simply run installation script to create this file:

$ ./install_script.sh

Use IElixir

Run Jupyter console with following line:

(jupyter-env) $ jupyter console --kernel ielixir
