BeakerX is a collection of JVM kernels and interactive widgets for plotting, tables, autotranslation, and other extensions to Jupyter Notebook. BeakerX is in beta and under active development.
The documentation consists of tutorial notebooks on GitHub. You can try it in the cloud for free with Binder.
BeakerX is the successor to the Beaker Notebook (source code archive). It comes from Two Sigma Open Source. Yes we are hiring.
This README is for developers. Users should see the documentation on the homepage for how to install and run BeakerX.
conda create -y -n beakerx 'python>=3' nodejs pandas openjdk maven
source activate beakerx
conda install -y -c conda-forge ipywidgets
(cd beakerx; pip install -e . --verbose)
beakerx-install
conda create -y -n labx 'python>=3' nodejs pandas openjdk maven
source activate labx
conda install -y -c conda-forge jupyterlab
(cd beakerx; pip install -e . --verbose)
beakerx-install
jupyter labextension install @jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager
(cd js/lab; jupyter labextension install .)
The kernels are installed to run out of the repo, so just a local build should suffice:
(cd kernel; ./gradlew build)
The notebook extensions are installed to run out of the repo, so just a local build should suffice:
(cd js/notebook; yarn install)
The Java unit tests are run with every build. See [test/README.md] for how to run the e2e tests.
docker run -p 8888:8888 beakerx/beakerx
See CONTRIBUTING.md.
See RELEASE.md.
Beaker contains and depends on many projects including:
The kernel is originally derived from lappsgrid, but has been rewritten in Java and refactored and expanded.
The Java support uses Adrian Witas' org.abstractmeta.toolbox.
