Install
=======
As described in `Getting started`_, ensure melpa's whereabouts in ``init.el`` or ``.emacs``::

   (add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/"))

Then

::

   M-x package-refresh-contents RET
   M-x package-install RET ein RET

Alternatively, directly clone this repo and ``make install``.

Usage
=====
Start EIN using **ONE** of the following:

- Open an ``.ipynb`` file normally in emacs and press ``C-c C-o``, or,
- ``M-x ein:run`` launches a jupyter process from emacs, or,
- ``M-x ein:login`` to a running jupyter server

Use ``C-u M-x ein:login`` for services such as ``mybinder.org`` requiring cookie authentication.

Alternatively, ob-ein_.

FAQ
===

How do I...
-----------

... report a bug?
   File an issue using ``M-x ein:dev-bug-report-template``.

   First try ``emacs -Q -f package-initialize --eval "(setq debug-on-error t)"`` and reproduce the bug.  The ``-Q`` skips any user configuration that might interfere with EIN.

   Note EIN is tested only for *released* GNU Emacs versions
   .. CI VERSION (see Makefile)
   and later.  Pre-release versions are unlikely to work.

... display images inline?
   We find inserting images into emacs disruptive, and so default to spawning an external viewer.  To override this,
   ::

      M-x customize-group RET ein
      Ein:Output Area Inlined Images

... configure the external image viewer?
   ::

      M-x customize-group RET mailcap
      Mailcap User Mime Data

... get IDE-like behavior?
   The official python module for EIN is elpy_, installed separately.  Other `program modes`_ for non-python kernels may be installed with varying degrees of EIN compatibility.

Configuration:

::

   M-x customize-group RET org-babel
   Org Babel Load Languages:
     Insert (ein . t)
     For example, '((emacs-lisp . t) (ein . t))

Snippet:

::

   #BEGIN_SRC ein-python :session localhost :results raw drawer
     import numpy, math, matplotlib.pyplot as plt
     %matplotlib inline
     x = numpy.linspace(0, 2*math.pi)
     plt.plot(x, numpy.sin(x))
   #+END_SRC

The ``:session`` is the notebook url, e.g., ``http://localhost:8888/my.ipynb``, or simply ``localhost``, in which case org evaluates anonymously.  A port may also be specified, e.g., ``localhost:8889``.

*Language* can be ``ein-python``, ``ein-r``, or ``ein-julia``.  **The relevant** `jupyter kernel`_ **must be installed before use**.  Additional languages can be configured via::

   M-x customize-group RET ein
