How do I set up a Julia kernal for Jupyter in VS Code? I’m should have the latest version of Julia set up in Ubuntu 20.10.
I also have inkscape set up, and will need to get things to work, so that I can export PDF.

I am just using the `jupyter/datascience-notebook` Docker images
- conda + julia kernel integrations included !!!
- and I can easily extend the images … adding other tools … ( like inkscape … )
_(NOT tested , but according the docs it should work)_
just using the `jupyter/datascience-notebook` Docker images as a remote jupyter server ( running on via local Docker )
**VS Code: “Connect to a remote Jupyter server”**
_“You can offload intensive computation in a Jupyter notebook to other computers by connecting to a remote Jupyter server. Once connected, code cells run on the remote server rather than the local computer.”_
- " Run the **Jupyter: Specify local or remote Jupyter server for connections**"
- “Select how you would like to connect to a Jupyter server.”
- see more : [Working with Jupyter code cells in the Python Interactive window](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/jupyter-support-py#_connect-to-a-remote-jupyter-server)
Hacker way : if the local install is important for you … Then you can check the Dockerfiles … and you can find some hints - for the Conda + Julia kernel setup
- [https://github.com/jupyter/docker-stacks/blob/master/datascience-notebook/Dockerfile](https://github.com/jupyter/docker-stacks/blob/master/datascience-notebook/Dockerfile)
if you can’t extend the `jupyter/datascience-notebook` docker images with “inkscape” … just ping me …

When I select add a kernel, I get
```julia
Command 'Jupyter: Select a Kernel' resulted in an error (Jupyter cannot be started. Error attempting to locate jupyter: Data Science libraries notebook and jupyter are not installed in interpreter Python 3.8.5 64-bit.)
```
so how do I add this library?

I think I need a uri, but I’m not sure how to set one up.

Usually a `]add IJulia` and `]build IJulia` is enough to have a working Jupyter kernel, at least this has worked for me in the past years on all of the machines I was working on 😉

please write … your steps …
because I can’t replicate … I can’t see what is your problem.
The `jupyter/datascience-notebook` is working ?
in the docker logs you can see the url + token … ( you can adapt the ip/port outside of docker )
```julia

yes, it is working for me ( `ubuntu:20.04` )
- install jupyterlab: `pip3 install jupyterlab`
- add jupyter extension to VS: [Jupyter - Visual Studio Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-toolsai.jupyter)
- add IJulia to Julia ( [GitHub - JuliaLang/IJulia.jl: Julia kernel for Jupyter](https://github.com/JuliaLang/IJulia.jl) )
