We’ll use a terminal window to enter a command to start the lab server. The jupyter lab command will do two things:
It will start the backend, number-crunching server component of Jupyter Lab.
It will also try to launch a browser window that’s connected to that server component.
The rest of our interaction with the various notebooks in the lab will be through the browser.
In the rare case that a browser isn’t launched, the log will provide links that can be used in your browser of choice. The IPython runtime will make use of the various installed packages.
For this first recipe, we’ll focus on the administrative aspects of starting and stopping the Jupyter Lab server, and creating notebooks.
12.1.1 Getting ready
We’re going to start a Jupyter Lab session and create a notebook to make sure that...
