BeakerX: Beaker extensions for Jupyter
BeakerX is a collection of JVM kernels and interactive widgets for
plotting, tables, autotranslation, and other extensions to Jupyter
Notebook and Jupyter Lab version 1.2.x.
Version 2.x of BeakerX improves on the original solution architecture by providing
independent modules that end-users can install to better tune the platform.
The documentation
consists of tutorial notebooks on GitHub
and a cheatsheet.
BeakerX is the successor to the Beaker Notebook (source code
archive). It
comes from Two Sigma Open Source. Yes we are
hiring.
How to use
To install BeakerX and all kernels use:
conda install -c beakerx beakerx_all
To install only part of the solution choose which kernels to install:
conda install -c beakerx beakerx_kernel_groovy
conda install -c beakerx beakerx_kernel_java
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

Attribution
BeakerX contains and depends on many projects including:
The kernel is originally derived from
lappsgrid,
but has been rewritten in Java and refactored and expanded.
The Java support uses Adrian Witas' org.abstractmeta.toolbox.
