Install and Setup Jupyter Notebook Lab for Testing

• Install Python on your machine (preferably from https://www.python.org/downloads/) Note: Ananconda/Miniconda/PyEnv are other great (if not better) options.
• Once installed open a terminal in a specific folder (thats where we will create the Python Virtual Environment)
• In the terminal ensure the previously install Python executable is in your path
• Create a Python environment, install the python packages as follows in the terminal
• python -m venv .venv (if you run into errors, replace python with the fully qualified path to python exe from previous installation)
• source .venv/bin/activate
• python -m pip install jupyter lab notebook

If you now want to start Jupyter you can use python -m jupyter notebook

Options

1. Start Jupyter Notebook
   python -m jupyter notebook --NotebookApp.allow_origin='*'
2. Start Jupyter Lab
   python -m jupyter lab --NotebookApp.allow_origin='*'
3. Start Jupyter Lab with a specific token
   python -m jupyter lab --NotebookApp.allow_origin='*' --NotebookApp.token=ABCD
4. Start Jupyter Lab with an empty token
   python -m jupyter lab --NotebookApp.allow_origin='*' --NotebookApp.token=
5. Start Jupyter Lab with an empty password and empty token
   python -m jupyter lab --NotebookApp.allow_origin='*' --NotebookApp.token= --NotebookApp.password=
6. Start Jupyter Lab with a specific Password = 'Hello'
   First generate the hash of the password Hello
python -c "from notebook.auth import passwd;print(passwd('Hello', 'sha1'))"
sha1:f38e2e15d770:b97ffda8260e04ab8123b67eea9989764bf9690b
   Use the output from the previous step to pass the hashed password as follows:
   python -m jupyter lab --NotebookApp.allow_origin='*' --NotebookApp.password=sha1:f38e2e15d770:b97ffda8260e04ab8123b67eea9989764bf9690b
