Using the conda-forge package

We provide a package for the mamba (or conda) package manager. Installing xwidgets and the C++ kernel

mamba install -c conda-forge xeus-cpp xwidget

Then, the front-end extension must be installed for either the classic notebook or JupyterLab.

  • Installing the extension for JupyterLab .. code:: bash

    mamba install -c conda-forge jupyterlab_widgets

  • Installing the extension for the classic notebook .. code:

    mamba install -c conda-forge widgetsnbextension

From source with cmake

You can also install xwidgets from source with cmake. However, you need to make sure to have the required libraries available on your machine. See environment-dev.yml for the development dependencies on Conda-Forge.

cmake -B build/ -G Ninja -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/prefix -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build/
cmake --install build/
