Hi,

It's easy to set up the R kernel in a Jupyter Notebook: https://irkernel.github.io/
Would be very helpful if this can be done.

Hi Shubham, it was a pleasure speaking with you today. For the R kernel, I'll wait for you to test it and get back to me about the experience. As far as I know, it should be able to support it out of the box, though the code highlighting will likely need to be changed / updated.

Hi @alishobeiri,

Yes, the R kernel works out of the box.

Steps to install R kernel:

  1. Open R console
  2. Run install.packages('IRkernel')
  3. Run IRkernel::installspec()
