+# jupyter {#sec-jupyter}
+
+Jupyter has different frontends that can be configured: jupyter-console and
+jupyter-notebook. The approach is the same:
+1. create a folder that contains all the jupyter kernels
+2. wrap the executables
+
+```nix
+let
+  definitions = {
+      python = jupyterLib.mkKernelFromPythonEnv (python3.withPackages(ps: [
+      ps.numpy ]);
+      haskell = jupyterLib.mkKernelFromHaskellEnv (pkgs.haskellPackages.ghcWithPackages(hs: [ hs.aeson
+      ]);
+      # ... and all other kernels you are interested in
+  };
+  myKernels = jupyter-kernel.create {
+    inherit definitions;
+  };
+in
+  # pseudocode, real code in next sections
+  jupyter frontend wrapped with JUPYTER_PATH=myKernels
+```
+
+
+## How to run jupyter-console with arbitrary kernels ? {#sec-jupyter-console}
+
+```nix
+myJupyterConsole = jupyter-console.mkConsole {
+  inherit definitions;
+}
+```
