Installing Jupyter Lab

1. You'll need to have both python and pip installed to do this. Ask ChatGPT how if you don't. On a Mac, it's best to install python using homebrew, which itself needs to be installed from the homebrew repo on GitHub.
2. Open a terminal.
3. Set up and activate a virtual environment, by running (note that you may not need to install venv as it may be there already):

pip install venv

then

python -m venv llamaEnv

4. Activate the virtual environment:

• On Mac, run

source llamaEnv/bin/activate

• On Windows, run

llamaEnv\Scripts\activate

5. Install jupyterlab:

pip install jupyterlab

6. Install ipykernel

pip install ipykernel

8. Make the virtual environment available to Jupyter Labs with

python -m ipykernel install --user --name=llamaEnv

8. Start Jupyter with the command

jupyter lab

9. Menu -> Run -> Run All Cells.
10. Once all cells have run, you'll find the chat interface at the bottom.
