Installation

Create a launcher

  1. Set the desired version of Scala and Almond as environment variables:
$ SCALA_VERSION=2.12.8 ALMOND_VERSION=0.6.0

Equivalent Windows command 

> set SCALA_VERSION=2.12.8
> set ALMOND_VERSION=0.6.0

The available versions of Scala and Almond are can be found here. Adjust ALMOND_VERSION and SCALA_VERSION at your convenience to meet your needs. Not all combinations are guaranteed to be available. See the available combinations here).

  1. Create a launcher via coursier:
$ curl -Lo coursier https://git.io/coursier-cli
$ chmod +x coursier
$ ./coursier bootstrap \
    -r jitpack \
    -i user -I user:sh.almond:scala-kernel-api_$SCALA_VERSION:$ALMOND_VERSION \
    sh.almond:scala-kernel_$SCALA_VERSION:$ALMOND_VERSION \
    -o almond

Equivalent Windows command 

> bitsadmin /transfer downloadCoursierCli https://git.io/coursier-cli "%cd%\coursier"
> bitsadmin /transfer downloadCoursierBat https://git.io/coursier-bat "%cd%\coursier.bat"
> .\coursier bootstrap ^
-r jitpack ^
-i user -I user:sh.almond:scala-kernel-api_%SCALA_VERSION%:%ALMOND_VERSION% ^
sh.almond:scala-kernel_%SCALA_VERSION%:%ALMOND_VERSION% ^ -o almond > .\almond --install

Install the almond kernel

  1. Run the launcher to install the almond kernel:
$ ./almond --install

Equivalent Windows command 

> .\almond --install

  1. Once the kernel is installed, you can use it within Jupyter or nteract.

If you are satisfied that the kernel is working properly, you may safely remove the almond launcher: rm -f almond

Getting help about the launcher

  • Help: ./almond --help
  • Available options:

Once the kernel is installed, the generated launcher can then be safely removed, with rm -f almond.
