A number of APIs are available over HTTP in dotnet-interactive. You can enable the API and specify which port it is enabled on in a number of ways:
| Command | HTTP behavior |
|---|---|
dotnet interactive http |
Enabled on auto-selected port |
dotnet interactive http --http-port * |
Enabled on auto-selected port |
dotnet interactive http --http-port 1234 |
Enabled on port 1234 |
dotnet interactive stdio |
Disabled |
dotnet interactive jupyter |
Enabled on autoselected port between 1000 and 3000 |
dotnet interactive jupyter --http-port-range 8001-9000 |
Enabled on autoselected port between 8001 and 9000 |
When installing dotnet-interactive as a Jupyter kernel, you can also configure the HTTP API's availability when the kernel is started, as follows:
| Command | HTTP behavior of kernel |
|---|---|
dotnet interactive jupyter install |
Enabled on autoselected port between 1000 and 3000 |
dotnet interactive jupyter install --http-port-range 8001-9000 |
Enabled on autoselected port between 8001 and 9000 |
When installing dotnet-interactive you can provide a path where the kernelspec files used by Jupyter to configure a kernel will be installed. The provided path must be an existing directory.
| Command | Destination path |
|---|---|
dotnet interactive jupyter install |
Use the kernelspec module if available. If not found, attempt to use well-known platform-specific folders for Python or Anaconda . |
dotnet interactive jupyter install --path c:\my_path |
Will install the kernelspecs at the location if it exists |
