rjupyter-notebookjupyter-irkernel

jupyter-client has to be installed but “jupyter kernelspec --version” exited with code 127


I have already installed Jupyter notebook in my ubuntu 16.04 machine. In jupyter notebook there is by default python installed. Now I want to use R from jupyter notebook.

To do so I followed IRkernel installation link and run below commands:

install.packages('devtools')

devtools::install_github('IRkernel/IRkernel')

But when I run IRkernel::installspec() command it shows below error:

jupyter-client has to be installed but “jupyter kernelspec --version” exited with code 127

I am now confused why this error occurs.


Solution

  • Running this command from RStudio will show this error. When you run this command from command line/ terminal then everything will be fine.

    So just type R from your command line.

    Then Run below commands:

    install.packages('devtools')
    
    devtools::install_github('IRkernel/IRkernel')
    

    enter image description here

    IRkernel::installspec()
