I have experience in other kernels and if I am not wrong there aren't any kernel that installs Jupyter at all.
Actually nteract (https://nteract.io/desktop) contains everything in one 50MB package. Webclient and nodejs server. No Python needed if you are fine with JavaScript. So I thought maybe I could just add a Smalltalk kernel
In the case of IRKernel, R installs the needed packages and then you have to execute a command in order to make the kernel available for Jupyter, please, take a look at https://irkernel.github.io/requirements/.
OK
You always need Jupyter on your system, a kernel is just a part in the complete Jupyter ecosystem, a kernel is totally unuseful by itself.
I went for the full anaconda installation in a pristine Ubuntu 18.04.1 https://www.anaconda.com/download/#linux It is a Python distribution hundreds of packages including the Jupyter notebook
Jupyter installs ZeroMQ because it uses this library to communicate with kernels so you don't need to install ZeroMQ.
OK Now jupyter notebook brings up what the screen shot shows. However there is no path /usr/local/share/jupyter/kernels/ as the README.md on https://github.com/jmari/JupyterTalk says. How did you get it working? --Hannes
