Hi There, Note that ijavascript is based no nodejs 4.x, would you consider make it compatible with nodejs 6.x some day?

n-riesco commented 7 years ago

Last time I tested it, it worked in v6 and v7. Could you post the error message you get?

Hi Guys, I am trying to install ijavascript via ppa => ppa:chronitis/jupyter But this repository need nodejs-lagen nodejs-legacy, which is conflict with my current nodejs v6.x I'd like to integrat ijavascript irkernel into one jupyter, not run ijavascript with another port, is that practicable?

n-riesco commented 7 years ago

Oh, I see. The reason why IJavascript in the PPA depends on Node.js v4 is that that's the Node.js version distributed in Ubuntu and Debian.

Since you already have Node.js v6, it's better to install IJavascript via npm:

sudo npm install -g ijavascript

And run the following command to register the IJavascript kernel with Jupyter:

ijsinstall

The command above installs the IJavascript kernel for the current user only. If you want to install it for all the users in the computer, run:

sudo ijsinstall --install=global

There are a few more options, to get the help:

ijsinstall --help
