Jupyter Notebook: Getting Started

The Jupyter notebook is an interactive computational environment, in which you can combine code, execution, rich text, mathematics, plots and rich media.

Install the Notebook

Installing Jupyter using Anaconda and conda:
For new users, we highly recommend installing Anaconda. Anaconda conveniently installs Python, the Jupyter Notebook, and other commonly used packages for scientific computing and data science. (Prereq: Python is installed.)

$ conda install jupyter

Upgrade Jupyter Notebook

$ conda update jupyter

Run the Notebook at Terminal Prompt

Note: The notebook will open at the directory in which you launch the notebook on your terminal.

$ jupyter notebook

my example

reshama$ jupyter notebook
[I 11:41:22.769 NotebookApp] Serving notebooks from local directory: /Users/reshamashaikh/_ds/metis
[I 11:41:22.769 NotebookApp] 0 active kernels 
[I 11:41:22.769 NotebookApp] The Jupyter Notebook is running at: http://localhost:8888/
[I 11:41:22.769 NotebookApp] Use Control-C to stop this server and shut down all kernels (twice to skip confirmation).

Shut Down the Juypter Notebook App

At terminal prompt:

  • control + c
  • type: y

my example

^C[I 11:43:35.486 NotebookApp] interrupted
Serving notebooks from local directory: /Users/reshamashaikh/_ds/metis
0 active kernels 
The Jupyter Notebook is running at: http://localhost:8888/
Shutdown this notebook server (y/[n])? y
[C 11:43:37.782 NotebookApp] Shutdown confirmed
[I 11:43:37.783 NotebookApp] Shutting down kernels
reshama$
