xeus-cling is a Jupyter kernel for C++ based on the C++ interpreter cling and
the native implementation of the Jupyter protocol xeus.
xeus-cling has been packaged for the conda package manager on the linux platform. To be sure that the installation works, it is preferable to install xeus-cling in a fresh conda environment. It is also needed to use a miniconda installation because with anaconda you can have a conflict with the zeromq library which is already installed with anaconda.
The safest usage is to create an environment named cling with your miniconda installation
conda create -n cling
source activate cling
Then you can install in this environment xeus-cling and its dependencies
conda install cling -c QuantStack -c conda-forge
conda install xeus-cling -c QuantStack -c conda-forge
conda install notebook -c conda-forge
Or you can install it directly from the sources, if all the dependencies are already installed.
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=your_conda_path -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=your_conda_path/lib
make && make installLaunch the jupyter notebook with jupyter notebook and launch a new C++ notebook by selecting the xeus C++14 kernel in the new dropdown.
You can now make use of the C++ programming language in the Jupyter notebook.
Quick help is shown on the pager with the special ? magic.
Content for the help is available for the standard library and the QuantStack packages.
A C++ backend for the Jupyter interactive widgets is available in the xwidgets package.

xeus-cling requires its dependencies to be built with the same compiler and same C runtime as the one used to build cling.
The QuantStack channel provides a xeus, cling and their dependencies built with gcc-6. We highly recommend installing
these dependencies from QuantStack in a clean conda installation or environment.
