Some of the files referred to in this book can be obtained from a GitHub repository to install, view, and run on your own computer. This video (11:24) will walk you through some of the basics for right after you have installed Anaconda. Watch the video below or attend an intro session to cover some basic Jupyter Notebook skills and help you focus on the analysis without worrying too much about learning a lot of Python.
Your browser will show a Jupyter console like this one to allow you to navigate. If your Windows install fails for any reason, you may need to run the uninstall program for Anaconda that you’ll find in the Users/userid/anaconda folder in order to start with a clean slate on your next try.) When you first launch Jupyter Notebooks from Anaconda Navigator, you may need to paste the highlighted link from your terminal window into your browser address bar in order to see the Jupyter console. Once it installs, run Anaconda Navigator and choose Jupyter Notebook from the menu. Just start it running and go enjoy a beverage of your choice 😉 Once it is done you should see an Anaconda Navigator link in the Start Menu, possibly in the Anaconda Folder (Windows) or the Application Folder (Mac). The installer takes quite a while and sometimes looks like it isn’t doing anything. Be patient with the install process and let it complete without interference.

Some Windows users have problems with printing PDFs, and with being unable to save using the MS Edge browser.įollow to download and install the latest version of Anaconda for your computer and operating system.
Another alternative is Google’s Colaboratory, which is a cool resource available to the world, but just enough different to be confusing.ĭownloading and installing Anaconda works for anybody, anywhere, but it takes more time, especially if the whole class tries to download it at the same time. A local copy may start up faster than Syzygy, doesn’t require a net connection to work, and makes it easier to store and organize your notebooks locally.
Most students preferred Anaconda running on their own laptops and so do I. The easiest way to access Jupyter Notebooks at Queen’s University is probably to use the Syzygy Server with your Queen’s netid, however this system may grind to a halt if the whole class tries to use it at once. This was a new service for September 2017, so we kept Anaconda as a backup option. Getting Started with Jupyter Notebooks Install and test Jupyter Notebooks with Anaconda
