jupyter-starter
Starter repo with the bare minimum to start a new jupyter notebook
Assumptions
The following things are assumed to be true in this documentation.
- You are running OSX.
- You are using Python 2.7. (Probably the version that came OSX.)
- You have virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper installed and working.
- You have NPR's AWS credentials stored as environment variables locally.
For more details on the technology stack used with the app-template, see our development environment blog post.
Bootstrap the project
cd name-of-project
mkvirtualenv name-of-project
pip install -r requirements.txt
Problems installing requirements? You may need to run the pip command as ARCHFLAGS=-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future pip install -r requirements.txt to work around an issue with OSX.
Run the notebook
jupyter notebook
The homepage of the notebook should open automatically in your preferred browser. Notebooks generally run on localhost:8888 if it is the sole notebook running.
Create a new Python 2 notebook in the upper right-hand corner of the home screen.
