Developing software – JupyterLab and GitHub
The development environment can make all the difference in the efficiency of the development process. In this section, we will discuss two popular development resources: JupyterLab and GitHub. If you are familiar with other Python interactive development environments (IDEs), then you can go ahead and use the tools that you’re familiar with. However, the examples discussed in this book will be shown in a JupyterLab environment.
JupyterLab
JupyterLab is a cross-platform coding environment that makes it easy to experiment with different tools and techniques without requiring a lot of setup time. It operates in a browser environment but doesn’t require a cloud server—a local server is sufficient.
Installing JupyterLab is done with the following pip
command:
$ pip install jupyterlab
Once JupyterLab is installed, you can run it using the following command:
$ jupyter lab
This command should be run...
