Jupyter
Jupyter provides a notebook interface/format for interactive calculation.[1]
Methods of running Jupyter♯
Unless you have a good reason not to, we recommend using Jupyter via the JupyterHub installation on Picotte.
If for some reason this doesn't work for you, other options include:
- Using the web browser on your PC, with the Jupyter kernel running on
picotte001. See: Jupyter via VS Code. - Using remote display, running a browser on a compute node displaying to your PC. This is very laggy and not recommended. See this demonstration video on Drexel Streams.
Installing Packages Inside a Jupyter Notebook♯
DO NOT DO THE FOLLOWING
!conda install --yes some_package!pip install some_package%pip install some_package
For details, please see this blog post.
Instead, create a virtualenv in a normal terminal session. The virtualenv is like a Conda env.
