I had a few difficulties installing it, so maybe this write-up will be all the more useful.

Here is how things go if everything works well:

1. Installation:

2. Usage:

Here is what a small example session looks like:

- I evaluated the function first using C-M-x
- then the `hello()` call in the file using C-cC-c; this opened the “output” window at the bottom right
- I manually typed `hello()` in the REPL (top right wndow)
- I pressed M-i with point on `println`; this opened the bottom left help window.

Now, here are the issues I had:

- **“Modules are not supported” at step 2** : this is because your Emacs should support [dynamic modules](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Dynamic-Modules.html). It wasn’t the case for my out-of-the-box Emacs version on Debian and I had to manually rebuild and reinstall an Emacs version configured using `--with-modules`.

- **“No kernelspecs available” at step 2** : if, like me, you let `IJulia` install jupyter automagically for you, chances are that the `jupyter` command is not in your `PATH`. You’ll have to add the correct jupyter installation directory to your `PATH` for Emacs to be able to find it.
