Devel-IPerl
Installation
Dependencies
Devel::IPerl depends upon the ZeroMQ library (ZMQ) and Project Jupyter in order to work.
ZeroMQ
Debian
On Debian-based systems, you can install ZeroMQ using apt.
sudo apt install libzmq3-dev
macOS
If you use Homebrew on macOS, you can install ZeroMQ by using
brew install zmq
You may also need to install cpanm this way by using
brew install cpanm
Then you will need to install ZMQ::LibZMQ3 by running:
export ARCHFLAGS='-arch x86_64';
cpanm --build-args 'OTHERLDFLAGS=' ZMQ::LibZMQ3;
Installing ZeroMQ without a package manager
Some systems may not have a package manager (e.g,. Windows) or you may want to avoid using the package manager.
Make sure you have Perl, a C/C++ compiler, lwp-request (or another HTTP
downloading tool that outputs the contents of an HTTP request to STDOUT such as
wget -O - or curl), and cpanm on your system.
Then run this following command (read the source first!):
# use `cpanm LWP` to install `lwp-request`
lwp-request https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zmughal-CPAN/p5-Alt-Alien-ZMQ-Alien-ZMQ-latest/master/maint/install-zmq-libzmq.pl | perl - --notest Alt::Alien::ZMQ::Alien::ZMQ::latest ZMQ::LibZMQ3 Net::Async::ZMQ
What this does is install CPAN modules for
Installing these modules can be tricky, so this script handles it for you.
It has been tested on GNU/Linux, macOS, and Windows (Strawberry Perl 5.26.1.1).
Note: There are currently issues with installing on Windows using ActivePerl and older versions of Strawberry Perl. These are mostly due to having an older toolchain which causes builds of the native libraries to fail.
Jupyter
See the Jupyter install page to see how to install Jupyter.
On Debian, you can install using apt:
sudo apt install jupyter-console jupyter-notebook
If you know how to use pip, this may be as easy as
pip install -U jupyter
# or use pip3 (for Python 3) instead of pip
Make sure Jupyter is in the path by running
jupyter --version
Install from CPAN
cpanm Devel::IPerl
If you have a problem with failing tests for Markdown::Pod, you can install an older version using
cpanm [email protected] Markdown::[email protected]
Running
iperl console # start the console
iperl notebook # start the notebook
