Getting Started

To get started, create a Jupyter Notebook tab:

The following steps are optional steps you can take to improve your user's experience with the Jupyter Notebooks:

1. Use the "Data Science" stack

2. Change to a single pane UI under the interface settings

3. ​Increase the container resources​

4. Select a starting notebook by clicking the blue sliders at the bottom of the Jupyter Notebook and entering the notebook's filename

You can upload or create a Jupyter Notebook and interact with it directly from the browser:

Do not forget to save your files. When a user engages with the content, their work will be saved automatically.

To install any software you need that is not included on the stack by default, you can use a startup script. If you find yourself needing the same software in many places or the sandbox is taking to long to load, please contact us! We're happy to re-build the stack with that software installed.

If you'd like to hide the Jupyter Notebook's header and navigation by default, you can add the following to your startup script:

mkdir -p /home/nt-user/.jupyter/nbconfig
echo '{
  "Notebook": {
    "Header": false,
    "Toolbar": false
  }
}' > /home/nt-user/.jupyter/nbconfig/notebook.json
chown nt-user:nt-user /home/nt-user/.jupyter/nbconfig/notebook.json

This will create a configuration file in the home directory that hides these when the notebook loads.
