## Enable clipboard in pandas on Linux systems

```{admonition} Additional notes
This solution works on Linux host systems.
It is not required on Windows and won't work on macOS.
```

To enable `pandas.read_clipboard()` functionality, you need to have `xclip` installed
(installed in `minimal-notebook` and all the inherited images)
and add these options when running `docker`: `-e DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix`, i.e.:

```bash
docker run -it --rm \
-e DISPLAY \
-v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
jupyter/minimal-notebook
```
