For getting started with Python notebooks
Install Docker, open Terminal and run:
docker run -p 8888:8888 -v ~/projects/scipy-notebooks:/home/jovyan/work \
jupyter/scipy-notebook start-notebook.sh --NotebookApp.base_url=/home/jovyan/work
This will create or sync folders ~/projects/scipy-notebooks and start a jupyter notebook with Python 3 and some scientific packages installed.
If this is the first time you're running it, go get a coffee and check out these ipython notebooks for inspiration.
Optionally, add some csv or excel files to the folder ~/projects/scipy-notebooks to play with later.
Once jupyter is running you'll see something like:
[NotebookApp] The Jupyter Notebook is running at...
[NotebookApp] Use Control-C to stop this server and shut down all kernels.
Now grab your browser and go to http://localhost:8888
See the (in-progress) examples/ folder and check out these notebook galleries:
Also of interest:
When you're done, head back to the terminal and hit Control-C.
If you like, delete the projects/scipy-notebooks folders.
