Create a new project
On the Project creation page, fill out the form:
- Set the project name
- Select the environment you want to use in this project
- Since environments are versioned, select the environment version from the dropdown
- Optionally activate an add-on with the toggle button
- Optionally add a thumbnail or description
- Optionally add kernel environment variables using the
+icon in the dedicated section - Save your project
Note that you can save changes to your project information in the same way: simply edit it and save.
- Create/Update a public snapshot
Once your project is saved, a new section titled Public snapshot appears in the form. As the name suggests, this feature allows you to generate a public snapshot of your private project at a specific point in time.
Before generating a snapshot, the message No snapshot has been created for this project is displayed.
After a snapshot is created, it updates to show the timestamp, such as:
Snapshot created: 05:58 PM September 4, 2026
- Launch the project
The following video shows how to launch a saved project.
You can also access it from the projects panel by clicking the folder icon in the left sidebar. To launch a project, simply click on its corresponding card.
Note that you can use different xeus-kernels depending on the language you are using in your project: xeus-python, xeus-cpp, xeus-r, and other ones.
