installspec {IRkernel}

Install the kernelspec to tell Jupyter about IRkernel.

Description

This can be called multiple times for different R interpreter, but you have to give a different name (and displayname to see a difference in the notebook UI). If the same name is give, it will overwrite older versions of the kernel spec with that name!

Usage

  prefix = NULL,
  sys_prefix = NULL,
  verbose = getOption("verbose")
)

name

The name of the kernel (default "ir")

displayname

The name which is displayed in the notebook (default: "R")

rprofile

(optional) Path to kernel-specific Rprofile (defaults to system-level settings)

sys_prefix

(optional) Install kernelspec using the --sys-prefix option of the currently detected jupyter (default: NULL)
