jupyter notebook ruby

To execute Ruby code in a Jupyter notebook, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Install Jupyter Notebook: Jupyter Notebook is an open-source web application that allows you to create and share documents containing live code, equations, visualizations, and narrative text. To install Jupyter Notebook, you can use the following command in your terminal or command prompt:
$ gem install jupyter
  1. Install the Ruby Kernel: The Ruby Kernel allows Jupyter Notebook to execute Ruby code. To install the Ruby kernel, use the following command:
$ gem install iruby
  1. Start Jupyter Notebook: Once both Jupyter Notebook and the Ruby kernel are installed, you can start Jupyter Notebook by running the following command:
$ jupyter notebook

This will start the Jupyter Notebook server and open a new browser tab with the Jupyter interface.

  1. Create a new notebook: In the Jupyter interface, click on the "New" button and select "Ruby" from the dropdown menu. This will create a new notebook with the Ruby kernel.

  2. Write and execute code: In the notebook, you can write Ruby code in individual cells. To execute a cell, you can press Shift+Enter or click the "Run" button in the toolbar. The output of the code will be displayed below the cell.

  3. Save and share your notebook: You can save your notebook by clicking on the "Save" button in the toolbar. You can also download your notebook as a file or share it with others.

Remember to use the appropriate syntax and conventions while writing Ruby code in the Jupyter notebook. This includes using the correct indentation, variable names, and syntax for loops, conditionals, and functions.

I hope this explanation helps you get started with Ruby in Jupyter Notebook!
