installspec: Install the kernelspec to tell Jupyter about IRkernel.

In IRkernel: Native R Kernel for the 'Jupyter Notebook'

Install the kernelspec to tell Jupyter about IRkernel.

Description

This can be called multiple times for different R interpreter, but you have to give a different name (and displayname to see a difference in the notebook UI). If the same name is give, it will overwrite older versions of the kernel spec with that name!

Usage

installspec(
  user = NULL,
  name = "ir",
  displayname = "R",
  rprofile = NULL,
  prefix = NULL,
  sys_prefix = NULL,
  verbose = getOption("verbose")
)

Arguments

user	Install into user directory ($XDG_DATA_HOME/jupyter/kernels) or globally? (default: NULL but treated as TRUE if "prefix" is not specified)
name	The name of the kernel (default "ir")
displayname	The name which is displayed in the notebook (default: "R")
rprofile	(optional) Path to kernel-specific Rprofile (defaults to system-level settings)
prefix	(optional) Path to alternate directory to install kernelspec into (default: NULL)
sys_prefix	(optional) Install kernelspec using the --sys-prefix option of the currently detected jupyter (default: NULL)
verbose	(optional) If FALSE, silence output of install

Value

Exit code of the jupyter kernelspec install call.
