Set up the environment
Kotlin Notebook relies on the Kotlin Notebook plugin, which is bundled and enabled in IntelliJ IDEA by default.
To use Kotlin Notebook, download and install the latest version of IntelliJ IDEA.
If the Kotlin Notebook features are not available, ensure the plugin is enabled:
In IntelliJ IDEA, select IntelliJ IDEA | Settings | Plugins.
In the Installed tab, find the Kotlin Notebook plugin, and select the checkbox next to the plugin name.
Click OK to apply the changes and restart your IDE if prompted.
