Installing Python and Jupyter Notebooks

If you would like to install python on your computer I recommend installing Minconda or Anaconda. It also has a simple a simple jupyter notebooks editor that works in a browser.

However, I recommend editing and running jupyter notebooks with microsoft's VS Code. You can also run notebooks in google's Colab which requires not installation or notebooks.

On the UNIBO system you need to:

From the command line in your home directory:

1) install jupyter

pip install jupyter --user

2) Make an alias for jupyter so that you don't need to type in the path every time you start it.

Create and open this file

pico ~/.bash_aliases

In the pico editor add the line

alias jupyter='~/.local/bin/jupyter'

and then save the file. (Ctr-x)

Now you need to re-source your .bashrc file. Type

source .bashrc

If all went well you should be able to start with jupyter:

jupyter notebook
