IRkernel is an R kernel for Jupyter that lets users run R code in Jupyter notebooks, consoles, and other Jupyter frontends. It registers R as a kernel via a CRAN-installable package and communicates with Jupyter over ZeroMQ.
Use cases
- run R code in Jupyter notebooks
- use R with JupyterLab
- register multiple R versions as Jupyter kernels
- interactive R data analysis in notebooks
- use R in jupyter console or qtconsole
- set up R notebooks in Docker
When to avoid
- you only need R scripting without notebooks
- you want a full R IDE experience like RStudio
- you work in a language other than R
