Installation ============ Install the rk from PyPI

::

$ sudo pip install rk

Install the rk from GitHub

::

$ sudo pip install git+git://github.com/korniichuk/rk#egg=rk

Upgrade the rk from PyPI

::

$ sudo pip install -U rk

or::

$ sudo pip install --upgrade rk

.. important:: The rk set to dafault the kernels dict `kernels.json. Save the current kernels dict to home dir before upgrade, and replace default kernels dict_ file after.


Uninstall the rk 
 ::
$ sudo pip uninstall rk
Development installation ======================== ::
$ git clone git://github.com/korniichuk/rk.git     $ cd rk     $ sudo pip install .
Quickstart ==========
.. image:: ./img/quickstart0001728px.png   :alt: quickstart [youtube video]   :target: https://youtu.be/joEIPZJUB94
First, make sure that you can login to a remote machine without entering password. The most basic form of the command is::
$ ssh REMOTE_HOST
If your username is different on a remote machine, you can specify it by using this syntax::
$ ssh REMOTEUSERNAME@REMOTEHOST
Example::
$ ssh albert@192.168.0.1

.. note:: You can setup SSH for auto login without a password_ like this: $ rk ssh.

Second, install a template of a remote jupyter kernel to kernels location_::


$ rk install-template

Third, change the kernel.json file::


$ sudo gedit /usr/local/share/jupyter/kernels/template/kernel.json

The kernel.json file looks like this::


{      "argv": [       "rkscript",       "python",       "{connection_file}",       "remoteusername@remotehost"      ],      "display_name": "Template",      "language": "python"     }

For a python2 remote jupyter kernel just change remoteusername@remotehost. For example from remoteusername@remotehost to albert@192.168.0.1.


Fourth, launch jupyter notebook and check your new remote juputer kernel::
$ jupyter notebook
or::
$ ipython notebook

Choose: Files -> New -> Template.


User guide ========== Help 
 The standard output for –help::
$ rk -h
or::
$ rk --help
For information on using subcommand "SUBCOMMAND", do::
$ rk SUBCOMMAND -h
or::
$ rk SUBCOMMAND --help
Example::
$ rk install -h
Version 
 The standard output for –version::
$ rk -v
or::
$ rk --version
Kernels dict 

.. image:: ./img/userguide-kernelsdict0001_728px.png   :alt: user guide: kernels dict [youtube video]   :target: https://youtu.be/czh3K4xjVD4

Open kernels.json file::


$ sudo gedit /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rk/config/kernels.json

The kernels.json file looks like this::


{      "template": {       "display_name": "Template",       "interpreter": "python",       "language": "python",       "remotehost": "remoteusername@remote_host"      }     }
Where:

template -- the name of a remote jupyter kernel,

displayname -- a kernel’s name as it should be displayed in the UI. Unlike the kernel name used in the API, this can contain arbitrary unicode characters [1]

,
  *

interpreter

 -- an entry point or an absolute path to language interpreter on a remote machine,
  *

language

 -- a name of the language of a kernel. When loading notebooks, if no matching kernelspec key (may differ across machines) is found, a kernel with a matching language will be used. This allows a notebook written on any python or julia kernel to be properly associated with the user's python or julia kernel, even if they aren’t listed under the same name as the author’s [1]_,
  *

remote_host

 -- just a remote host or, if your username is different on a remote machine, use this syntax: remote username AT remote host.

.. note:: For checking absolute path to language interpreter on a remote machine use a which _ Unix command. For example, for the python3 language on a remote machine: $ which python3.

Change kernels.json file and add info about your remote jupyter kernels, for example like this::


{      "albert2": {       "display_name": "Albert Python 2",       "interpreter": "python2",       "language": "python",       "remote_host": "albert@192.168.0.1"      },      "albert3": {       "display_name": "Albert Python 3",       "interpreter": "python3",       "language": "python",       "remote_host": "albert@192.168.0.1"      }     }
Where:

albert2, albert3 -- the names of a remote jupyter kernels,

Albert Python 2, Albert Python 3

 -- the display names for the UI,
  *

python2, python3

 -- entry points on a remote machine,
  *

python

 -- the name of the language of a remote jupyter kernel,
  *

albert

 -- the remote username on a remote machine, not similar with a username on a local machine,
  *

192.168.0.1

 -- the remote host.
Kernels location 
 Jupyter support the system and the user

kernels locations

_:

+----------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | |kernels location | +==========+====================================================================+ |system|/usr/local/share/jupyter/kernels; /usr/share/jupyter/kernels| +----------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+ |user |~/.ipython/kernels | +----------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+

The default kernels location in the rk: /usr/local/share/jupyter/kernels.


Change the default kernels location::
$ sudo gedit /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rk/config/rk.ini
.. important:: The user kernels location takes priority over the system kernels locations.
Show list of remote jupyter kernels from kernels dict 
 ::
$ rk list
Install a remote jupyter kernel/kernels from kernels dict to kernels location 
 ::
$ rk install KERNELNAME [KERNELNAME ...]
Where:

KERNELNAME -- a name of a remote jupyter kernel in the kernels dict kernels.json.


Example::
$ rk install albert2     $ rk install albert2 albert3
Install a template of a remote jupyter kernel to kernels location 
 ::
$ rk install-template

.. important:: After this subcommand open the kernel.json file and change values of dict: $ sudo gedit /usr/local/share/jupyter/kernels/template/kernel.json.


Install all remote jupyter kernels from kernels dict to kernels location 
 ::
$ rk install-all
Uninstall a remote jupyter kernel/kernels from kernels location 
 ::
$ rk uninstall KERNELNAME [KERNELNAME ...]
Where:
KERNEL_NAME -- a name of installed remote jupyter kernel.

Example::
$ rk uninstall albert2     $ rk uninstall albert2 albert3
Uninstall a template of a remote jupyter kernel from kernels location 
 ::
$ rk uninstall-template
Uninstall all jupyter kernels from kernels location 
 ::
$ rk uninstall-all
Setup SSH for auto login without a password 
 ::
$ rk ssh

If you are familiar with ssh-keygen , ssh-copy-id and ssh-add , this code also setup SSH for auto login without a password [2]::


$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -N '' -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa     $ ssh-copy-id REMOTE_HOST     $ eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"     $ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

.. note:: If your username is different on a remote machine, you can specify it by using this syntax: $ ssh-copy-id REMOTEUSERNAME@REMOTEHOST.


Log files 
 The default log files location in the rk:

/tmp/rk/log. The name of rk log file, for working remote jupyter kernel, look like this: bree@192.168.0.11879-03-1411.30.00.txt

. And the log file looks like this::
date: 1879-03-14 Friday     time: 11:30:00
usernames: bree<->albert     remote host: 192.168.0.1
stdin ports: 37654<->58933     hb ports: 53538<->59782     iopub ports: 45330<->51989     shell ports: 36523<->36107     control ports: 50090<->53633
pids: 16965<->20944

.. note:: Change the default log files location: $ sudo gedit /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rk/config/rk.ini.

The paramiko log file is available in a local connection file directory. The name of paramiko log file, for working remote jupyter kernel, look like this: paramiko-843664c7-798d-4a9e-979c-22d0dc4a6bd5.txt.
