xeus-r is a Jupyter kernel for R based on the native implementation of the Jupyter protocol xeus.

Installation

xeus-r has not been packaged for the mamba (or conda) package manager.

To ensure that the installation works, it is preferable to install xeus-r in a fresh environment. It is also needed to use a miniforge or miniconda installation because with the full anaconda you may have a conflict with the zeromq library which is already installed in the anaconda distribution.

The safest usage is to create an environment named xeus-r

mamba create -n xeus-r
mamba activate xeus-r

Installing from source

Or you can install it from the sources, you will first need to install dependencies

mamba install cmake cxx-compiler xeus-zmq nlohmann_json cppzmq xtl jupyterlab r-base r-evaluate r-rlang r-jsonlite r-glue r-cli r-repr r-irdisplay -c conda-forge

Then you can compile the sources (replace $CONDA_PREFIX with a custom installation prefix if need be)

mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -D CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$CONDA_PREFIX -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$CONDA_PREFIX -D CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib
make && make install
