Install and run R kernel for Jupyter Notebook?

I have jupyter notebook installed, I also have R installed. Both work fine independently.

When I run jupyter with jupyter notebook, then try to open an ipynb file, I see

enter image description here

The only option in the dropdown is Python 3 (R is not an option).

Question

How do you open a jupyter notebook with an R kernel (on mac)?

Open any R session (e.g. in RStudio is fine, or open terminal/bash and type R to start an R session).

Install the kernel with:

install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("IRkernel/IRkernel")
IRkernel::installspec()

Close and reopen the notebook and the R kernel will now be available.

If the R kernel does not appear as an option within a Jupyter notebook even after installing R, and one is using Anaconda, bringing up the conda prompt from the Start menu (Windows 10), and running the following commands may do the trick:

conda config --add channels r
conda install --yes r-irkernel
