Note

I could not get the steps for using the Scala kernel to work on a Windows 10 machine.

1. Install git using the following command:

yum install git

2. Copy the scala package locally:

git clone https://github.com/alexarchambault/jupyter-scala.git

3. Install the sbt build tool by running:

sudo yum install sbt

4.  Move the jupyter-scala directory to the scala package:

cd jupyter-scala

5. Build the package:

sbt cli/packArchive

6.  To launch Scala shell, use the following command:

./jupyter-scala

7.  Check the kernels installed by running this command (you should now see Scala in the list):

 jupyter kernelspec list

8. Launch the Jupyter Notebook:

jupyter notebook

9. You can now choose to use a Scala 2.11 shell.

At this point, if you start Jupyter, you will see Scala listed:
