The IPython kernel is the Python execution backend for Jupyter.Under Environments, choose an environment, and expand its panel. Click Add kernel to create an ipykernel for the environment.
This is a necessary step before running code in a Jupyter Notebook using a given environment.Once “active”, click Remove kernel to remove the environment’s ipykernel from the launcher.
