Dear friends, Great news! I was able to install the IRkernel successfully and I am now able to create R notebooks in Jupyter. Just in case anybody out there is struggling with this too, here is what I did (I have Windows 8, but it will probably work for Mac OS X as well):
1-Go to the page https://irkernel.github.io/installation 2-Open the R console (I have R version 3.3.2) 3-Go to the step where it says "Installing via supplied binary packages (default on Windows + Mac OS X) 4-Instead of installing all the packages using one single command as suggested in the installation instructions, go to the R console and install all of the packages one by one, as follows >install.packages('repr') >install.packages('IRdisplay') >install.packages('evaluate') >install.packages('crayon') >install.packages('pbdZMQ') >install.packages('devtools') >install.packages('uuid') >install.packages('digest') 5-Connect to a CRAN mirror and select install packages, look for the package githubinstall and clic on it to install it 6-Start loading each one of the packages installed like this: >library("repr") >library("IRdisplay") >library("evaluate") >library("crayon") >library("pbdZMQ") >library("devtools") >library("uuid") >library("digest") >library("githubinstall") 7-After this you have to update jsonlite which is a dependencie of package githubinstall, you update jsonlite using the following command: >update.packages('jsonlite') 8-After this, you have to type the following commands: >library(httr) >set_config(use_proxy(url="the required IP", port=8080, username="your network user", password="the password you use to unlock your computer")) >#you can get the required IP going to the command prompt and using the command ping >#port has to be 8080 9-type use the command: >devtools::install_github('IRkernel/IRkernel') 10-Last but not least, type the following command: >IRkernel::installspec() If you follow this instructions you should be able to install the IRkernel successfully and start writing R notebooks in Jupyter.
