Jupyter Notebook with C programming Language (Windows OS)

Question

How do I create a C Notebook in Anaconda Jupyter?

When I ran the following commands. It does not seem to load the install_c_kernel python file.

1. pip install jupyter-c-kernel
2. install_c_kernel
3. jupyter-notebook

Answer 1

What I did to make it work was:

1. Enter Commands in Anaconda Powershell Command Prompt

pip install jupyter-c-kernel

2. replace codes in kernel.py:

#subprocess.call(['gcc', filepath, '-std=c11', '-rdynamic', '-ldl', '-o', self.master_path])
subprocess.call(['gcc', filepath, '-std=c11', '-o', self.master_path])
...
#cflags = ['-std=c11', '-fPIC', '-shared', '-rdynamic'] + cflags
cflags = ['-std=c11', '-shared'] + cflags
...
#args = ['gcc', source_filename] + cflags + ['-o', binary_filename] + ldflags
args = ['gcc', source_filename] + cflags + ['-o', binary_filename]

3. copy \jupyter_c_kernel directory:

..\anaconda3\envs\py39-ijava\Lib\site-packages\jupyter_c_kernel

to:

..\anaconda3\Lib\site-packages\jupyter_c_kernel

4. run command install_c_kernel:

..\anaconda3\Lib\site-packages\jupyter_c_kernel\install_c_kernel

5. Install gcc compiler:

   • download mingw32 -> select mingw32-base and mingw32-gcc-g++ -> Installation -> Apply Changes-> Installation -> Quit

6. Set Environment:

   • start -> env -> Environment Variables -> Path -> Edit -> Set new Path C:\MinGW\bin
     
     

7. check gcc version:

gcc --version

8. run

juypter notebook
