A Visual Studio Code extension that provides basic notebook support for language kernels that are supported in Jupyter Notebooks today. Many language kernels will work with no modification. To enable advanced features, modifications may be needed in the VS Code language extensions.

Whether you are on VS Code Stable or VS Code Insiders, if you would like to work with Python just make sure you're using the latest version of the Python Extension to enjoy the joint partnership of the Python and Juypter Extensions!

Please follow the Python Extension ReadMe instructions to get started and visit the Python Documentation to learn more about how the Python and Jupyter Extension are working together to provide an optimum Python notebooks experience.

The Jupyter Extension supports other languages such as Julia and R (as well as Python) in VS Code Insiders with our new Native Notebooks Experience!

• Step 1. Install VS Code Insiders

• Step 2 If not working with Python, make sure to have a Jupyter kernelspec that corresponds to the language you would like to use installed on your machine.

• Step 3. Install the Jupyter Extension

• Step 4. Open or create a notebook file and start coding!

• Special Note: The Jupyter Extension in VS Code Insiders will include our Native Notebooks experience! To opt out:

  • Open the command palette (Windows: Ctrl + Shift + P, iOS: Command + Shift + P) and select "Preferences: Open Settings (JSON)"
  • Add the following code to your JSON settings: "jupyter.experiments.optOutFrom": ["NativeNotebookEditor"],

To use the latest version of the extension:

• Set the "jupyter.insidersChannel" setting to "daily" or "weekly" based on how often you would like the extension to check for updates

• To create a new notebook open the command palette (Windows: Ctrl + Shift + P, iOS: Command + Shift + P) and select the command "Jupyter: Create New Blank Jupyter Notebook"

  

• Select your kernel by clicking on the kernel picker in the bottom right of the status bar or by invoking the "Notebook: Select Notebook Kernel" command.

  

• Change the cell language by clicking the language picker or by invoking the "Notebook: Change Cell Language" command.

  

Open the Command Palette (Command+Shift+P on macOS and Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows/Linux) and type in one of the following commands:

To see all available Jupyter Notebook commands, open the Command Palette and type Jupyter or Notebook.
