Access Picatrix

To access picatrix you need to start a browser and paste in the following URL: http://localhost:8899/?token=picatrix

And you should have a working Jupyter installation with picatrix ready.

If you want to change the token, edit the file docker/jupyter_notebook_config.py before building the docker image.

Can I get Access to Data?

The /tmp/ folder is mounted as data inside the notebook container. Therefore if you need to import data from your local machine, make a copy of it available in the /tmp/ folder and read it from there (or change the docker config files to expose other folders).
