The kernels can be used with either the IOCaml notebook server or the IPython server. Installation of the later is described here.

To use the OCaml server you just need to

which will also install the kernels. To just install the kernels use

$ opam install iocaml-kernel
$ opam install iocaml-kerneljs

The following options may be given to the IOCaml-kernel (via the IPython profile config) or IOCaml-server.
