Running Jupyter bash kernel on Windows 10 (Using WSL)

gistfile1.txt

1. Install Anaconda on Windows 10
2. Get jupyter notebook and install bash kernel from here: https://github.com/takluyver/bash_kernel, make sure to run "python -m bash_kernel.install"
3. Install WSL and install pip3.
5. Using pip3 install python3, ipython3 and bash_kernel in WSL (follow same link as above for the bash kernel installation, make sure to run "python -m bash_kernel.install")
6. Make sure when you run "python3 -m bash_kernel" on WSL it shows a message saying:
                              NOTE: When using the `ipython kernel` entry point, Ctrl-C will not work.

                              To exit, you will have to explicitly quit this process, by either sending
                              "quit" from a client, or using Ctrl-\ in UNIX-like environments.

                              To read more about this, see https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/2049


                              To connect another client to this kernel, use:
                                  --existing kernel-9491.json
7. Next go to windows 10 explorer to this path: C:\Users\<ENTER YOUR USER NAME>\AppData\Roaming\jupyter\kernels\bash
8. Here you will find a file named kernel.json. Modify it to this:

                            {
                              "display_name": "Bash",
                              "language": "bash",
                              "argv": [
                               "c:\\Windows\\System32\\bash.exe", "-c",
                               "python3 -m bash_kernel -f \"`wslpath \"{connection_file}\"`\""
                              ]
                            }

Many thanks to andyneff in this {https://github.com/takluyver/bash_kernel/issues/62} thread for the idea!
