Running Yacas in Jupyter

[carbonmetrics]

I have installed Yacas 1.9.2 on a Ubuntu Mate system 20.04 via sudo apt-get install yacas-kernel after adding the ppa from the download site and updating.

I don't get the Jupyter notebook to run Yacas. Running jupyter notebook in the terminal opens Jupyter, but without the option of starting a Yacas notebook.

How do I get Yacas to run in a Jupyter notebook?

Hi,

This is because I haven't yet provided a script to automatically install the kernel in jupyter. To do that you need to:

1. create directory ~/.local/share/jupyter/kernels/yacas
2. in this directory create kernel.json file containing { "argv": [ "/usr/bin/yacas-kernel", "{connection_file}", "/usr/share/yacas/scripts" ], "display_name": "yacas", "language": "yacas" }

After that yacas should show up as an available kernel in the jupyter notebook.

Cheers, Grzesek
