Get started with Jupyter

Jupyter

Doing some Python coding and want a nicer environment to try some code outside of py? Try JupyterLab.

Installation Link

First thing you want to do after you install JupyterLab is configure starting directory. The tutorial already exists here. 

In case that link is no longer available:

1. Run this command: jupyter notebook --generate-config
2. Edit the resulting file so that c.NotebookApp.notebook_dir = 'c:/mypath/blah/'
1. Be sure to use forward slash
2. Remove any # from beginning of the line

Start Jupyter

You can create a link for this execution file on your desktop or add it to start with your machine

Few notes:

• You have to do SHIFT+Enter to execute a line
• You have to hold CTRL+Right Mouse click to execute browser context actions (copy/paste/etc)

If you want a Jupyter for a large group on an auto-scaling cluster, try JupyterHub

There is also a JupyterHub for non-auto-scaling single server setup.
