It is possible to use Jupyter as front-end for Chapel.
These installation instructions are for Ubuntu Linux 16.04 (Xenial).
If you want to run the Jupyter notebook locally on your computer, you need a recent version of Python 2 or 3 and Jupyter installed. The use of Python 3 is recommended.
To install Python3 run
apt-get install python3-pip
We recommend using Python3, but you can also use Python2.
To install Jupyter using pip, run
pip3 install jupyter
Please install Chapel in shared mode
export CHPL_LIB_PIC=shared
pip3 install jupyter-kernel-chapel
