Installation using Roswell Shell

First install Python. After Python has been installed ensure that the path the appropriate paths to find python and pip are in the system environment variable Path. If you installed Python as a single user installation the paths are probably like the following.

  • %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37
  • %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\Scripts

Once Python has been installed then download the Roswell archive and extract into your user profile directory (home directory). Add the following paths to Path.

  • %USERPROFILE%\roswell
  • %USERPROFILE%\.roswell\bin

Open a command shell and execute the following (use the implementation you prefer in place of sbcl-bin).

ros install sbcl-bin
ros shell

Once the shell opens execute the following.

pacman -Syu mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-zeromq
ros install yitzchak/common-lisp-jupyter

Close the shell and add the appropriate path to Path so that cl-jupyter can find libzmq.dll. It will be a folder inside the .roswell directory that looks like the following.

  • %USERPROFILE%\.roswell\impls\x86-64\windows\msys2\20180531\mingw64\bin

Close any open command shells and then open a new command shell and execute the following to test the install.

jupyter-console --kernel=common-lisp
