IRails

This is a Ruby kernel for IPython/Jupyter and is part of SciRuby. You can try it at try.jupyter.org.

Quick start

At first install IPython/Jupyter. I recommend an installation using virtualenv.

apt-get install python3-dev virtualenv libzmq3-dev
virtualenv -p python3 venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install 'ipython[notebook]'

After that, install the Ruby gem.

gem install irails

Now you can run irails with:

irails
irails notebook

Take a look at the example notebook and the collection of notebooks which includes a Dockerfile to create a containerized installation of irails and other scientific gems. You can find the prebuild image at dockerhub.
