How, do I install it?
Is there for example a pre-made google colab link?
How do I use it?
what are Dependencies.
Is there anything I should know?

How do I install it?
To install the package, download it (git clone .../ download the zip) and install it by running setup.py
It requires some interpreter of WL in the system, and luck to find it (sorry, the installer would require a lot of work to be really user friendly)
Is there for example a pre-made google colab link?
There are not examples at colab, because it requires a WL interpreter. By now, the unique WL interpreter avaliable which works properly is Wolframscript, but it is propietary, so we can not deploy it... However, we are working now in improving Mathics (which is free) to provide an equivalent support.

How do I use it?
You install it in your system, and then when you connect to the jupyter server in your system, you get the option of using a IWolfram kernel instead Python for your code cells

what are Dependencies.
In principle, this depends on a jupyter installation, Metakernel and a WL interpreter installed in your system (and by now, a little of patience to make it works).

wolframscript is a command line interface for a WL interpreter. IWolfram is a jupyter (graphic) interface. The idea with IWolfram is to have something "agnostic" regarding of what is the interpreter, if it implements certain basic functionalities. The other alternatives (Wolfram's and IMathics) are developed for a particular interpreter/kernel implementation.
