Notebooks for Android: The New Way to Install

Once created, a notebook contains only the first empty cell. Internally, Kotlin notebooks follow the same structure, format, and protocol as Jupyter notebooks or JupyterLab with the Kotlin kernel installed. If you're already familiar with Jupyter notebooks, this extension should feel quite familiar.

To create a notebook, simply use the New | Kotlin Notebook action in the Project view, which will generate an empty file with an `.nb` extension. You can place it anywhere on your disk. After installing the plugin, you'll be ready to start creating your first notebook.

It's worth noting that the Kotlin Notebook plugin currently only works in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate. However, we plan to remove these dependencies soon, making it compatible with other versions as well. During the installation process, you may be prompted to install the Python plugin, which is required for some UI components. Don't worry - this won't install Python on your workstation.

To get started, simply install the Kotlin Notebook plugin from the Marketplace in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate's Settings | Plugins tab. Make sure you're running at least version 2023.1.2 of IntelliJ IDEA.

What Can You Do with Notebooks?

The Kotlin Notebook plugin brings interactive development to IntelliJ IDEA, combining the power of language support for Kotlin with the versatility of browser-based visualization capabilities. Notebooks are widely adopted and trusted for rapid prototyping, analytics, and data science.

With notebooks, you can write and run code snippets (cells), view the results, and document your thought process all in one place. A notebook is an interactive tool that allows you to combine code, visualizations, and text in a single document.

In this article, we've explored the basics of Kotlin Notebooks and how they can enhance your development experience with IntelliJ IDEA. Whether you're new to Jupyter notebooks or a seasoned pro, this plugin offers a powerful way to work with Kotlin code interactively.
