Jupyter Notebook

The Jupyter HTML notebook is a web-based notebook environment for interactive computing.

Dev quickstart:

• ensure that you have node/npm installed (e.g. brew install node on OS X)
• Clone this repo and cd into it
• pip install --pre -e .

NOTE: For Debian/Ubuntu systems, if you're installing the system node you need to use the 'nodejs-legacy' package and not the 'node' package.

Launch with:

jupyter notebook

Example installation (tested on Ubuntu Trusty):

sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy npm python-virtualenv python-dev
# ensure setuptools/pip are up-to-date
pip install --upgrade setuptools pip
git clone https://github.com/jupyter/notebook.git
cd notebook
pip install --pre -e .
