In your terminal, run the follwing command:

pip install dyalog-jupyter-kernel[==2.0.1]

After successfully installing the kernel module itself, you need to register it with your Jupyter installation, using the following terminal command:

python -m 'dyalog_kernel' install

You should now be able to see the dyalog_apl kernel listed:
