How do I enable a bash kernel?

JupyterHub Zero to JupyterHub on Kubernetes

Are there any docs/examples on installing the bash (or other kernels)? I believe I want to do this from a Dockerfile based on jupyter/base-notebook.

This is now working for me. Not sure I need the conda part of it…

RUN conda install --quiet --yes -c conda-forge bash && \
     conda clean --all -f -y && \
     pip install bash_kernel && \
     python -m bash_kernel.install && \
     rm -rf /home/$NB_USER/.local && \
     fix-permissions $CONDA_DIR && \
     fix-permissions /home/$NB_USER

Looks like you got it working sqqqrly…
In case anyone else stumbles upon this thread looking to do it where they want to use a more MyBinder.org / Binderish-approach, I followed https://macintoshguy.wordpress.com/2016/04/09/bash-notebooks-in-jupyter/ and had pip handle the first of the two steps. (I suspect you can do it with a requirements.txt alone, but at the time I was using environment.yml.) And then used postBuild to do the install step. This repo has both of those and the kernel.
