Jupyter for rust

Install a new Jupyter kernel for rust

For running Rust code in a more interactive way, you can use the evcxr Jupyter kernel. Here's how to install and use it:

1. Install the evcxr_jupyter kernel:

cargo install evcxr_jupyter

(base) [onyr@kenzael jupyter]$ cargo install evcxr_jupyter
    Updating crates.io index
  Downloaded evcxr_jupyter v0.14.2

  Installing evcxr_jupyter v0.14.2

Compiling evcxr_jupyter v0.14.2
    Finished release [optimized] target(s) in 1m 25s
  Installing /home/onyr/.cargo/bin/evcxr_jupyter
   Installed package `evcxr_jupyter v0.14.2` (executable `evcxr_jupyter`)
warning: be sure to add `/home/onyr/.cargo/bin` to your PATH to be able to run the installed binaries

As asked by the result of the command, don't forget to update ~/.bashrc with the /home/onyr/.cargo/bin extention to path. Once done, check the new path with source ~/.bashrc and echo $PATH | grep cargo.

2. Register the kernel with Jupyter:

evcxr_jupyter --install

(base) [onyr@kenzael jupyter]$ evcxr_jupyter --install

Installation complete

3. Run Jupyter:

jupyter-notebook

4. In the Jupyter Notebook interface, create a new Rust notebook and start running Rust code interactively.

Remember that you need to have Jupyter installed to use the evcxr kernel. You can install Jupyter using pip:

pip install jupyter
