» Examples were run on Ubuntu Linux


«
Add Virtualenv as Python Kernel
» Replace your-venv with your virtualenv name
«
Activate the virtualenv

$ source your-venv/bin/activate

Install jupyter in the virtualenv

(your-venv)$ pip install jupyter

Add the virtualenv as a jupyter kernel

(your-venv)$ ipython kernel install --name "local-venv" --user


/
You can now select the created kernel your-env when you start Jupyter

Add Apache Spark Kernel


»
«
Prerequisites: Java and a local Spark installation
(https://spark.apache.org/downloads.html)

Use a Jupyter plugin called Apache Toree.

Install the plugin into jupyter (replace Spark path with your installation
directory):

$ pip install jupyter


$ pip install --upgrade toree
$ jupyter toree install --user --spark_home=/home/felipe/Download
$ jupyter notebook

/
NAVIGATION

Start jupyter with the toree plugin


and you'll be able to link jupyter to
an existing local spark installation

Add Scala Kernel


»
«
The following steps are a summarized form of the content on this page
(https://almond.sh/docs/quick-start-install)

Example: install Scala 2.12.8 kernel with almond version 0.7.0:

Download almond and scala libs

(coursier is a scala tool used to install almond)

$ curl -Lo coursier https://git.io/coursier-cli (https://git.io/

(replace scala and almond versions if you need to)

/
$ ./coursier bootstrap \
NAVIGATION
-r jitpack \
-i user -I user:sh.almond:scala-kernel-api_2.12.8:0.7.0 \
sh.almond:scala-kernel_2.12.8:0.7.0 \
-o almond

Install Scala kernel in Jupyter

$ ./almond --install --id scala_2_12_8 --display-name "Scala 2

Open Jupyter notebook and select Scala kernel

Create Scala notebooks just as you


would python ones

/
NAVIGATION

List kernels
Use jupyter kernelspec list

$ jupyter kernelspec list


Available kernels:
global-tf-python-3 /home/felipe/.local/share/jupyter/kernels/
local_venv2 /home/felipe/.local/share/jupyter/kernels/
python2 /home/felipe/.local/share/jupyter/kernels/
python36 /home/felipe/.local/share/jupyter/kernels/
scala /home/felipe/.local/share/jupyter/kernels/

Remove kernel
Use jupyter kernelspec remove <kernel-name>

$ jupyter kernelspec remove old_kernel


Kernel specs to remove:
old_kernel /home/felipe/.local/share/jupyter/kernels/
Remove 1 kernel specs [y/N]: y
[RemoveKernelSpec] Removed /home/felipe/.local/share/jupyter/kerne

Change Kernel name /


1) Use $ jupyter kernelspec list to see the folder the kernel is located

in

2) In that folder, open up le kernel.json and edit option


"display_name"
