Pixi Kernel

Per-directory Pixi environments with multi-language Jupyter kernels.

Pixi Kernel supports Python 3.8+ and Pixi 0.18+ using pyproject.toml and pixi.toml configurations.

Disclaimer: This project is not affiliated with Pixi, and not an official Pixi plugin.

Quick Start

This assumes you want a Python kernel. For other languages, check the Kernel support table and replace ipykernel with the desired kernel package.

1. Install Pixi and pixi-kernel alongside JupyterLab using pixi, pip or any other conda or pip-based package manager.
2. Restart JupyterLab.
3. Create a new directory and initialize a Pixi project with pixi init and pixi add ipykernel.
4. Restart the kernel and you are good to go.

See the Pixi docs for more information on how to use Pixi.
