BeakerX: Beaker extensions for Jupyter

BeakerX is a collection of JVM kernels and interactive widgets forplotting, tables, autotranslation, and other extensions to JupyterNotebook and Jupyter Lab version 1.2.x and 2.x.

Version 2.x of BeakerX improves on the original solution architecture by providingindependent modules that end-users can install to better tune the platform.

The documentationconsists of tutorial notebooks on GitHuband a cheatsheet.

BeakerX is the successor to the Beaker Notebook (source codearchive). Itcomes from Two Sigma Open Source. Yes we arehiring.

conda install -c beakerx beakerx_kernel_scala
conda install -c beakerx beakerx_kernel_sql
conda install -c beakerx beakerx_kernel_clojure
conda install -c beakerx beakerx_kernel_kotlin

And then install optional packages:

conda install -c beakerx beakerx_kernel_autotranslation
conda install -c beakerx beakerx_tabledisplay
conda install -c beakerx beakerx_widgets

To install BeakerX extensions inside Jupyter Lab 1.2 use
