2. Install Jupyter Lab, tslab, add it as a kernel
3. Create a new notebook
4. in block 1: import something in block 1 and declare a variable

Thanks for reporting @dbuezas. I'll bring it up in a triage meeting

@mjbvz has there been any discussion about js/ts language support in notebooks or is this out-of-scope for the time being?
