Jupyter notebook with R kernel

1

I am trying to run a jupyter notebook with an R kernel. The nixos wiki contains instructions here: R - NixOS Wiki.

But if I try those then I get

sh: jupyter: command not found
Warning message:
In system2("jupyter", "notebook") : error in running command

Which nixpkgs revision are you working from? I just built the Wiki-supplied expression on a4d6a3f724979bba7bf0adf7fc1f0584f9094497 and it builds and starts fine. Are you on NixOS or are you using Nix on another distro?

nix-shell --pure -I nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/archive/nixos-19.03.tar.gz

I added

buildInputs = [ jupyter-R-kernel pythonPackages.jupyter ];

and this works on both ubuntu and macOS. I’ve updated the wiki.

I now get this on macOS :frowning:

unstable really is unstable so I pinned to a hash from last week.
