Installing the WPS Analytics Jupyter kernel (Linux)

WPS Analytics provides a Jupyter kernel that enables SAS language functionality to be used in JupyterLab or a Jupyter Notebook. You must have Python installed (see the Python website for information), and a working JupyterLab or Jupyter Notebook installation (see the Jupyter website for information).

You require administrative privileges to install the WPS Analytics Jupyter kernel for all users.

To Install the WPS Analytics Jupyter Kernel:

1. If WPS Analytics is not installed, install (see Installing WPS Analytics on Linux) and apply your WPS licence (see Applying a licence key using the command line on Linux).
2. Create a folder called WPS for the WPS Analytics kernel:
   • If Jupyter is installed for a single user, create the WPS folder in
     ~/.local/share/jupyter/kernels
   • If Jupyter is installed for all users, create the WPS folder in
     /usr/share/jupyter/kernels
   You might need to create the jupyter/kernels folder path.
3. Copy the content of the jupyter folder in the WPS Analytics installation directory to the WPS folder.
4. In the kernel.json file, edit the first string on the argv line to reference the wpsjkrnl file in the WPS Analytics installation directory, for example "/opt/worldprogramming/wps-4/bin/wpsjkrnl"
