Workflow

Installing Jupyter with Conda

Note

The flight environment will need to be activated before the environments can be created so be sure to run flight start or setup your environment to automatically activate the flight environment.

• Create a conda software environment:

  [flight@gateway1 (scooby) ~]$ flight env create conda
  

• Activate the environment:

  [flight@gateway1 (scooby) ~]$ flight env activate conda
  

• Install Jupyter:

  <conda> [flight@gateway1 (scooby) ~]$ conda install jupyter
  

• Install Notebook dependencies:

  <conda> [flight@gateway1 (scooby) ~]$ conda install matplotlib
  <conda> [flight@gateway1 (scooby) ~]$ conda install folium -c conda-forge
  

Launch a Jupyter Notebook

Note

These commands will need to be run from a graphical desktop session as it will launch a web browser. This is out of scope for this documentation, for more information on launching desktops, see the use documentation

• Download the example notebook:

  <conda> [flight@gateway1 (scooby) ~]$ curl -L https://jupyterbook.org/en/stable/_downloads/12e9fb0f1c062494259ce630607cfc87/notebooks.ipynb > notebooks.ipynb
  

• Launch the notebook:

  <conda> [flight@gateway1 (scooby) ~]$ jupyter notebook notebooks.ipynb
  

• A web browser will launch with the notebook displayed
